Q-R-S-T

“Integrity is the ability to stand by an idea.”
Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead

"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."
T. Roosevelt
Picture
Rocky written by Sylvester Stallone

"I do not like to write – I like to have written."
Gloria Steinem

"All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not whither, deep roots are not reached by the frost."
J.R.R. Tolkien
