a sign on William's garage wall (before he moved to Providence RI)

"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...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 know neither nor defeat." - Teddy Roosevelt

...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 know neither nor defeat." - Teddy Roosevelt

...timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.


For me, that is the quote of quotes. Thanks for posting it.
