Few will have the greatness to bend history; but each of us can work to change a small portion of the events, and in the total of all these acts will be written the history of this generation… Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.
Teddy Roosevelt, April 23, 1910, at the Sorbonne, Paris France:
It is not the critic who counts; not 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 short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end 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 neither know victory nor defeat.

Haters will hate. Believers in democracy will not be quick to embrace wild accusations of flaws or fraud in the democratic process without sound evidence and foundation, they will defend the right of every citizen to vote safely and have their vote counted. They will accept the results of an election as the expression of the will of the people even if it does not accord with their own loyalties, or political leanings. Their higher loyalty will be to democracy itself and the fundamental priciple: one citizen, one vote.
