Great FIRST Quotes?
 
My FRC team is looking for a really good FIRST quote to put on the back of our hoodies and other team clothing. We are leaning towards something from Dean Kamen or Woodie Flowers, but we are open to quotes from other FIRST leaders or participants. Please help us out by responding to this thread with your favorite FIRST quote.

We are looking for something that defines the FIRST experience. Please do not include qoutes from anonymous or unknown sources. We are looking for something that can be attributed to a specific person.

Thanks for your help!

Or the corollary "How can we celebrate greatness if we don't create it?"

If that quote is going to be on the team hoodie, I hope their robot does not decide to disregard sensors and ram into a wall.

You can celebrate what others have done by being inspired by it. The core problems comes from the attitude that everyone is a winner. If we don't celebrate those who DO create greatness and instead treat everyone as if they are the same we breed a culture that no longer feels the need to innovate, the drive to succeed, the will to actually produce something great. People WANT to create great things, we just have to encourage them by showing that the their work will be rewarded.

I don't know who said this, but I like it.
