“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.” – Mark Twain.
“I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.” – Invictus
“It is not the critic who counts, nor 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 the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms and 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, if he fails at least fails while daring greatly. So that his place will never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither defeat or victory.” – ‘Man in the arena’ speech by Roosevelt, April 23 1910.
