Quotes!

Basically, my schools having a contests for who can choose the best quote. The winning quote gets painted around the school, and a bit of legacy is left behind. The quotations criteria has to surround the ideas of Respect, Excellence, Attitude, Courage, and Honesty. It’d also be cool to see peoples favorite quotes on here! Just post away the quote and the author, and lets see what we can get.

Personally, one of my favorites is:
“People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.” -Eleanor Roosevelt

Lets hear yours!

This one is long, but it’s my favourite quote ever.

“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 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 up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for 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 he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”

-Theodore Roosevelt
“Citizenship in a Republic,”
Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910

“For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.”
-Carl Sagan

“Believing that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their Legislature should “make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,” thus building a wall of separation between Church and State.”
-Thomas Jeffreson… may America heed his words well…

I love this one. I always laugh when my friends fall down the stairs. I am laughing right now just thinking about it. Does that make me a bad person?
