A New Tradition

So Brian has his Wednesday's Word. Jonathan has his Friday's Foto. And... I'm adding my own weekly contribution to the blogosphere... Saturday's Citation. So... it's cheesy. But... knowing me... what can you expect???!? ;) I love quotes. I hope to be able to post something worth thinking about, now and again... some worthwhile food for thought. What with this new "Blogger Beta" business, I've been trying (for quite some time) to post a "text box" on the edges of things for my quotes... but alas! I have no mind for technology... or html. ;) So, here goes.


Saturday (give or take an hour and a half), December 16th, 2006 -

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 and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, 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 he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

~Theodore Roosevelt
