Quotes

Caleb:

Mom and I went to a gala where Pres Uchdorf spoke.  He quoted Heslod (where do they find these quotes?).  In the same meeting, Stan Albrecht quoted Roosevelt, then tonight I was watching a TED talk and heard the last quote.  They are all worthy and made me think of you.  Love you,

Dad

Before the gates of excellence the high gods have placed sweat... - Heslod

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 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, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who 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 neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore Roosevelt

There isn't time -- so brief is life -- for bickerings, apologies, heartburnings, callings to account. There is only time for loving -- and but an instant, so to speak, for that.

- Mark Twain, Letter to Clara Spaulding, August 20, 1886
