Teddy's Words of Encouragement

[FishNette]

With the 4th of July coming up on Wednesday, it's a good time to reconsider this advice from a great American:

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 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 and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for 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 he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.

That was Theodore Roosevelt speaking at the Sorbonne in 1910.

Have a Safe and Happy 4th of July!!!

Nice quote. Happy 4th to all!

True words. Likely Obama never heard them.

Robalo.....I thought you had an entire forum to spew that crapola. OK. You don't like Obama...we get it.

Sorry Termo, but it reminded me of how Obama fails to honor our fallen Heroes, so obviously my point is made and is true. It is our Country's honorary Birthday-the birth of Freedom from Tyranny.

To paraphrase another Teddy quote with a slight addition "Mr. Obama doesn't have the backbone of a chocolate eclaire".

For the dense who can't read between the lines; I don't like him either.

Gee, thanks for the heads up. I might have missed that in your subtle mastery of the english language!
