It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. In this life we get nothing save by effort.
checkered dare enjoy far fearing glorious grey holds knows mighty moves neither nor poor rank rather roosevelt spirits spite succeeds success suffer teddy though twilight victory win
The person who succeeds is not the one who holds back, fearing failure, nor the one who never fails... but rather the one who moves on im spite of failure.

wild-life benefits today
The wild life of today is not ours to do with as we please. The original stock was given to us in trust for the benefit both of the present and the future. We must render an accounting of this trust to those who come after us.
