"It is not the who counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, 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 the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes back short and short again; who knows the great enthusiasms,the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause;who at the 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 know neither victory or defeat."
THEODORE ROOSEVELT (Paris Sarbonne, 1910)
“...even the dull and ignorant; do have their story.”
The masses of men lead lives of quiet desperation....
Stolen from BLAM: >> I feel grateful to have been born at the best time in history, in the best country and living conditions in all of human history. I live better than most kings and royalty in all of human history...how could I have been more fortunate?
Oh, when I first came onto FR, Blam and Travis McGee helped me so much. I will always be thankful for those two.
Mrs. Don-o, I did not see you.
You are so welcome. A friend posted it to me when I was feeling down for something I felt I had done correctly.
Always room for improvement on my part, for sure.
With this whole quote, I can see no reason for Donald J. Trump to win as our next POTUS. No?
Ahhhhh, that came out incorrectly. I miss headed it. There is every reason why Donald J. Trump should be our next POTUS!
Fixed!!!
I am making too many errors. Thank you for posting. I have so far posted a post to the “To” line; I have also posted to the tag line.
I do not drink, really.
My hands get twisted.
Have a great night!
Thank you!
Very inspiring, It makes you want to inhale sharply and say, “Aw, it’s just a flesh wound. Let’s roll!”
Nixon also wrote a book “In the Arena”
Good job Slip18.
If this is what we have to look forward to when you post, please take your time and post more.
You did a good job.

Nice quote.
There are no old heads left. Certainly none on the order of TR. That is exactly why why we’ve come to this place in history. What we need is someone who will get down dirty and fight. What we need right now is a Donald Trump!
**** “...even the dull and ignorant; do have their story.” ****
You have captured my Life! Next make it a very Long and Boring story!
The secret to being left alone is to tell very Long Boring stories with minute details that have nothing to do with the story...
The older you get, the better it works!
You're welcome sweetness.
I remember when you joined.
You've been a winner too.
