"See you around State Beach" - Tom Crosby
Taped to Tom's computer:
“It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out where the strong man stumbled, nor where the doer of deeds could have done them better. On the contrary, the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena – whose vision is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes up again and again; who knows the great devotions, the great enthusiasms; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement.
“However, if he fails, if he falls, at least he fails while daring so greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”
--Theodore Roosevelt, part of the speech, "Citzenship in a Republic," delivered at the Sorbonne April 23, 1910.
