A Quick Memorial Day Quote

I hope you enjoy your Memorial Day.

Thought I'd share this famous quote from Teddy Roosevelt - I read this the other day and it really spoke to me.

"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 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 knew neither victory nor defeat."
- Theodore Roosevelt
