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.”<br/><br/> - <em><span>Theodore Roosevelt</span></em>http://stejay.com/post/18788601211http://stejay.com/post/18788601211Mon, 05 Mar 2012 08:01:25 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyeo7amPhp1r75je8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>While taking a photo of the Prince Albert Banksy, this kid jumped in front of it and said “Go on then, take my photo”.

The rest of us just show up and get to work and the belief that things will grow out of the activity itself and that you will, through work, bump into other possibilities and kick open other doors that you would never dream up if you were just sitting around looking for a great art idea. And that a belief in that the process, in a sense, is liberating and that you don’t have to reinvent the wheel everyday. Today you know what you will do, you could be doing what you were doing yesterday and tomorrow you are going to do what you did today and at least for a certain period of time if you can just work to hang in there, you will get somewhere.”<br/><br/> - <em><span>Chuck Close</span></em>http://stejay.com/post/13248735027http://stejay.com/post/13248735027Thu, 24 Nov 2011 05:38:03 -0500inspirationquotes
