… what else can we put here …

… how about that great “man in the arena” quote by teddy roosevelt i first read in an admiral rickover transcript in the mid-to-early 70s:

Man in the Arena

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.”

Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910
