Community - City of Duenweg

“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, who face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat”. – President Theodor Roosevelt at the Sorbonne in Paris, April 23, 1910

The City of Duenweg believes that this quote from President Roosevelt strongly reflects our community values and the dedication of the hardworking individuals who shape our town. From our police department and fire department to city hall, we all strive to take action and do good deeds, even if we stumble at times.
