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.
Wow! I mean, we all know our share of Teddy Roosevelt quotes, but where did Curt dig THIS one up??!! Has anyone else ever heard of this one? Deep!!!! He must be THE leading Teddy scholar in the country - can he be in the TR Hall of Fame too? Wow, Curt, you did it again! (btw, interested to hear how your "why dont they make the whole plane outta the black box?" stuff went at the Laff Palace....I bet it KILLED!!!!!!!!!)
