It’s not the critic who counts

[Stan]

“It’s 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 of the arena who’s face is marred by dust, sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who knows the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause, who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who have never known neither victory nor defeat”

Theodore Roosevelt

Have always like this....

I heard a story of Theodore Roosevelt that he was shot of his horse three times during a battle in Cuba. At one point during the battle he saw one of his men get shot and said to him "Ain't it grand". Later he called the Spanish-American War "a splendid little war." I think we would call him a warmonger today.

He used to box and grapple in the white house. Haven't seen that much testosterone by very many so-called men.
