"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me is more important than facts. It is more
important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than success, than what other people
think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, gift, or skill. It will make or break a company...a church... a home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our
past... The only thing we can do is play on the string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what
happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes."
--Charles Swindoll

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man that points out how the strong man stumbled, 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 and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends
himself in a worthy cause, who at best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, at least fails
while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
--Theodore Roosevelt
