It is not the critic who counts;
not the man who points out how strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly...
who knows great devotions;
who 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 have never known neither victory nor defeat.

Teddy Roosevelt

Might be a good reason we put his face on Mount Rushmore. :)
 
Those idiot liberals in Washington should have to read that every day!!

Did you hear Bill O'Reilly last night? He described Dis to a 'T' when he
talked about liberals. And it wasn't one bit complimentary. He said, " The far left media in America is dominated by haters, people who dispise their own country and want to injure those with who they disagree. Those smear merchangts are now all over the mainstream media and have spread like lice on the internet."

Thanks for the great quote, Jinglebob.

You have a nice day without any fires!

Thanks for posting those, Juan. They are profound observations of life without its make-up on. :wink: My favorite was:
