A Quote From Teddy Roosevelt

[eventnyc]

I can relate to this quote. I believe we are all 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, and comes up short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiams, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumphs 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 know neither victory or defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt

T Roos was a great official!! I have seen clips of him with a collar shirt running up and down working CCNY vs. Harvard. Was really a hustler when he called a game. I love his "block" call as he used to jump up and down as he called it. Too bad the Rough Riders/Spanish American War, Assistant Sec of the Navy, Working on the Panama Canal and all that other stuff like the 2 terms Presidency got in his way. Nice to see his likeness on Mt Rushmore though!

Yup, Mick can remember Roosevelt's younger days.

As for Dan?

Now you why we don't take him too seriously.
