Around SBN: Trent Richardson Interviews Fellow Brown Brandon Weeden

Just a Thought

''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, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.'' - Theodore Roosevelt

Is Theodore Roosevelt anonymous now? Or did you just not care to attribute it correctly?

Error Corrected

Again, thanks for enlightening me.

Please pardon my error. I did not find an author when I found the quote, perhaps I should have attributed, ’’Unknown’’. Thanks for enlightening me. There seems to be such a critical mindset in Big Orange Country, I thought this was fitting.

Thanks for posting it

That quote is actually incorporated into this site’s Community Guidelines, and a reminder every once in awhile is a good thing.
