dog" Dwight D. Eisenhower" "The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust, sweat and blood: who errs and comes up short again, who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, and spend himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end triumph of high achievement; and at 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 or defeat...Theodore Roosevelt " No Problems Only Challenges...
