It’s taken from Theodore Roosevelt’s “Citizenship in a Republic” speech that was delivered in 1910: 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 neither know victory nor defeat.

No need for arms when we are fortunate enough to have the ballot. I think Teddy would have concurred with that protectors statement, excluding the force part.

They're comment was what he did and what he said, I asked if they could give me an example, silence. I have noticed that those conservatives who put up Teddy as the type of president we should have don't know beans about him. Truely he deserves to b on MT. Rushmore.

I liked the AoM site before and posting TR's speeches tells me why. His "Citizenship in a Republic” speech has been my favorite read for years. I cant think of a single paragraph that doesent align with my views. Well that does it for me! I liked the AoM site before and posting TR’s speeches tells me why.

I try to do things instead of just talking about them. In boxing, I wanted to be in the ring instead of just being a spectator. I would rather get my nose bloodied instead of saying what someone else could have done better. I think that it is a good gut check for those who want to call themselves men...have I stepped into the arena or I have I played it safe as a spectator?
