This Month's Quote:

It is not the critic who counts,
not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled,
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 and comes short again and 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.

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs,
even though checkered by failure,
than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much,
because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.

-Teddy Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States
1858-1919
