A rather apt quote

From President Theodore Roosevelt.

Trp10

"It is not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, if he wins, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."

Teddy R is the consummate ‘go-to’ guy for great quotes.

This is why he’s my favorite president! He was always “involved”, gutsy, get-it-done kinda guy who had a hell of a lot of fun in life and wasn’t afraid of hard work… thanks for sharing that quote. V-
