Senate Journal: Page 44: Tuesday, January 14, 2003
All will be needed in this effort.
Great values, great needs, great goals mandate from all of us, inside and outside
state government, great action. Many may question if it all can be done.
Theodore Roosevelt said it so well so long ago. “It is not the critic who counts; not
the person who points out how strong persons stumbled or where the doer of deeds
could have done them better. The credit belongs to the person 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 a life in a worthy cause, who at the best, knows in the end the
triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he or she fails, at least fails while
daring greatly, so that their place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who
knew neither victory nor defeat.”
Ladies and gentlemen of the General Assembly, let that be said of this generation of
Iowans who risked embracing change, fought to preserve our values, and nurtured
hope and opportunity for all.
God bless you. God bless our great State of Iowa, and the United States of America.
