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 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, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions;
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 fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt

I keep that quote in my work locker pasted on the inside of the door at work so that I read it every day when I open the door, and I keep it on my FR homepage.
There are few people in all the venues of life who can truly say they have fought as Breitbart (freeper Andrew) did ......your post was fitting for this man we admired Star....thank you.
