R E S P E C T

I am pretty regularly amazed by society and human nature. How someone can at one moment be outraged at how others seem to have no respect for people and will then turn around and lambast someone they don’t like. Perhaps it is true that conversation would cease to exist if we can’t … ah what the heck.

The Man in the Arena

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.

Theodore Roosevelt, "Citizenship in a Republic,"  Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910
