not the man who points out
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, sweat & blood;
who strives valiently;
who errs, comes short again & again;
who knows the great enthusiasms,
the great devotions, and
spends himself in a worthy cause;
who, at 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 know neither victory nor defeat.''
-- Pres. Theodore Roosevelt
Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.
