Teddy Roosevelt on Sport Critics

critposer said:

"It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points how the
strong
man stumbled 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 knows
the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a
worthy cause; who, at best, knows 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 know
neither victory nor defeat."

Dumbass -

Let me guess:

You're not getting enough love for your great "achievements"?

Get used to it. No one cares.

It's OK for you to care. You just shouldn't care that no one else
does.

thanks,

K. Gringioni.

Bad guess, not looking for love. If I actually ride my bike, it's an
achievement.

Just thought it was an interesting quote, puts the Monday chatter into
perspective.

Can't imagine it coming from today's crop of presidential contenders,
not a particularly profound group.

Nobody wins elections by being profound.

Don't you mean, Benjamin Franklin?

I think Obama's a very good speaker.

Hillary and McCain, definitely not. Hillary's wound more than a little
tight.

McCain? It's kinda funny that the conservative punditry hates the guy.
I have a hard time bringing myself to criticize his style when he's
actually an independent thinker although his grasp of some foreign
policy issues is shallow at best.
