“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.” TR 1910
“...the man who really counts in the world is the doer, not the mere critic-the man who actually does the work, even if roughly and imperfectly, not the man who only talks or writes about how it ought to be done.” TR 1891
“Criticism is necessary and useful; it is often indispensable; but it can never take the place of action, or be even a poor substitute for it. The function of the mere critic is of very subordinate usefulness. It is the doer of deeds who actually counts in the battle for life, and not the man who looks on and says how the fight ought to be fought, without himself sharing the stress and the danger.” TR 1894
Why is it so eerily quiet today about the BC? I’m about to explode for some new information.
Or, were you being snide and factually mistaken?

Thank you for your post #93. How true!
Thank you for your post...#93.
The quotes are so true.
I just wish I had the education and knowledge that some posters have here on FR concerning our judicial system.
If I did I couldn’t get to the phone fast enough to help Leo with his case.
This is one of those times I wish I had more knowledge, power or money to help a true American Patriot.
