Hell is truth seen too late...
Adams John Adams

Dare Greatly

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belong 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 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; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Motive Power

It is only through labor and prayerful effort, by grim energy and resolute courage, that we move on to better things.
Theodore Roosevelt

Speak softly but carry a bigh stick.

Taking Chances

No man is worth his salt who is not ready at all times to risk his body, to risk his well-being, to risk his life, in a great cause.
Theodore Roosevelt

Fit To Live

If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for,
he isn't fit to live.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Ask Not

Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.
John F. Kennedy

Regrets

I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.
Nathan Hale

Alternatives

There are two ways of being happy; we may either diminish our wants or augment our means. Either will do, the result is the same. And it is for each man to decide for himself, and do that which happens to be the easiest. If you are idle or sick or poor, however hard it may be for you to diminish your wants, it will be harder to augment your means. If you are active and prosperous or young or in good health, it may be easier for you to augment your means than to diminish your wants. But if you are wise, you will do both at the same time, young or old, rich or poor, sick or well. And if you are very wise, you will do both in such a way as to augment the general happiness of society.

Life's Loyalties

I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
Faith

During the Civil War fourteen inmates of Andersonville Prison, on August 20, 1864, bowed in prayer to the Almighty that He would send them water; and a spring broke out on the outside of the wall and ran through the prison. The people there were unanimous in their belief that it was of divine origin, the water in the nearby stream being fearfully unwholesome. The spring is reported to be still flowing.

Impossibility

Law never does anything constructive.
We have had enough of legislators
promising to do that which laws can not do.
Henry FordHenry Ford

The will of the people
is the only legitimate foundation
of any government, and to protect
its free expression
should be our first object.

Let Every Nation

Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and success of liberty.
John F. KennedyJohn F. Kennedy

Genuine Heroism

The characteristic of a genuine heroism is its persistency. All men have wandering impulses, fits and starts of generosity. But when you have resolved to be great, abide by yourself, and do not weakly try to reconcile yourself with the world. The heroic cannot be common, nor the common heroic.
Ralph Waldo Emmerson

The Silent Wall

May that silent wall shout out for peace as we all should now and forever. For while most walls keep people apart, it's "the wall" that brought us together."

Misunderstood
PVietnam Veterans Memorial
http://thewall-usa.com/ No event in American history is more misunderstood than the Vietnam War. It was misreported then, and it is misremembered now. Rarely have so many people been so wrong about so much. Never have the consequences of their misunderstanding been so tragic.
Richard Nixon President Richard Nixon

Die For

Courage,
an independant spark from
heaven's bright throne, by which the soul
stands raised, triumphant, high,
alone.
Author Unknown

Two Alternatives

We shall meanly lose or nobly save the last hope of earth.
Abraham Lincoln

Growth

All growth depends upon activity. There is no development physically or intellectually without effort, and effort means work. Works is not a curse; it is the perogative of intelligence, the only means to manhood, and the measure of civilization.
