One of the top three most requested quotes is that regarding the "man
in the arena" or "not the critic"
"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."

Spontaneous pontification.
It just happens sometimes, without warning.

President. Won't happen again...

I missed his slap at the president but I know posts often get mixed or
lost.
I like Roosevelt's thinking .Maybe, if Bush and his surrounding Chicken
Hawks had "striven valiantly" in Vietnam they would have had the wisdom and
experience not to ask someone else to die in a similar unnecessary war.

Roosevelt? I was given to believe Pat came up with that on his own. <G>
I, too, like Roosevelt's thinking. Why? Because I think he was right, at
least at it applies to this particular quote.
To stretch that to mean that it applies to our current president (or lack
thereof) is... not much of a stretch. But, I can see how somebody could
make that... mistake? <G>
The quote is valid... until somebody applies it to somebody they like, and
gets all offended by the truth.
