Courage

Another courage quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson:

"Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them."

Courage

Tonight I attended our Mid-year celebration for Kings Training College. Ps Steve shared a brilliant message with us students on courage.

One quote he gave that particularly spoke to me from Theodore Roosevelt:

'It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, 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 short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows 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 know neither victory nor defeat.'

Wisdom

My Father-in-law has been sending all of us Perrys a wisdom key everyday. I particularly like this one: "Never complain about what you permit."

Thanks Bruce!
