Words of wisdom

Theodore Roosevelt noted that, “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.”
