Favorite Quotes Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The Ultimate Measure of a Man The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. 16 Information Classification: General

Favorite Quotes Teddy Roosevelt The Man in the Arena It is 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 man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who actually does strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. 17 Information Classification: General

Favorite Quotes Durant We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit. Yost (Lombardi) Everybody has the will to win, very few people have the will to prepare to win.
