Favorite Quote: 
“It is not the critic that 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 in the arena……who strives valiantly……who spends himself for a worthy cause; who at best knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at 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, 26th President of United States of America, 1901-1909
