Favorite Theodore Roosevelt Quote:

“It is not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, if he wins, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, 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 or defeat.”

Excellent quote, Mark! Teddy Roosevelt, though he had his flaws, was truly a man's man.

Our goal as Christians should be to spend ourselves in the most worthy of all causes, the cause of Christ. Thankfully, there is no chance of failure in this cause, since the outcome has already been determined. "But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." I Cor. 15:57
