MISSION STATEMENT

It is not the critic who counts nor 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 up short again and again, who spends himself 

in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end by 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 never knew victory  nor defeat,
