Some Motivational Swag

One of the few people who doesn't annoy me on FB posted this, I thought I'd share. Cheers!

Theodore Roosevelt's speech,
Citizenship in a Republic.

This is the passage that made the speech famous:

"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, who comes short again and again,

because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in 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 fails while daring greatly . . .”

Thanks for this! I used to have that quote on my studio wall right above the trash can, to remind me to keep trying! time to re-hang it by the fridge.
