Quote for the Day #2

If you read my post on Monday you know that I am reading Primal by Mark Batterson. So I couldn't help but share a quote that He shared in the book (actually he shared both quotes ~ the one by Oliver Wendell Holmes also). The quote was not shared in its entirety in the book but I will share it in its entirety here:

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 short again and again;

because there is not effort without error and shortcomings;

but who does actually strive to the deed;

who knows the 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.

~ Teddy Roosevelt ~

By the way, it's snowing here.  Ever so lightly ~ but it's snowing!
