Well, sorry couldn't resist jumping in when I start seeing quotes flying around. Here are some that work quite well for FIRST,

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.
- Theodore Roosevelt (April 10, 1899)
*I believe that was 100 years to the day before the alliance of 122 The NASA Knights(my old team), 47 Chief Delphi, and Honeywell's Iron Eagles entered the tournament and had a good run toward (though cut short of) the finals)*

"We few, we happy few, we band of brothers,
For he today that sheds his blood with me, Shall be my brother."
Henry V
William Shakespeare


The tax which will be paid for the purpose of education is not more than the thousandth part of what will be paid to kings,
priests and nobles who will rise up among us if the people are in ignorance.
-Thomas Jefferson


I think it would be a good idea.
Mahatma Ghandi (regarding western civilization)


I think Dean is working on that last one. but anyway, just some of my favorite quotes, some apply to FIRST, directly or not. Eitherway, enjoy all.
