“Talent is God-given; be humble. Fame is man-given; be thankful. Conceit is self-given; be careful,”

“Man is the only animal for whom his own existence is a problem which he has to solve and from which he cannot escape.”

“It’s not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

The credit belongs to the person who is in the arena.

Whose face is marred with dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly … who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly…”

“The universe is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.”

“God will not have his work made manifest by cowards.”
