Quote of the Day - January 19, 2011

by FSM: QUOTE OF THE DAY January 19, 2011
 
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.”
 
Theodore Roosevelt, (1858 –1919) made in his famous speech at the Sorbonne in Paris, France, on April 23, 1910.

Ha! Twitter offers a simple definition of ‘fair share'

June 18, 2013  02:59 PM

Heh. A Teachable Moment for President “do as I say, not as I do” Obama. Hey, we thought “pro-choice” was the oh-so-enlightened stance, no? Evidently not. Golfer Phil Mickelson realized that recently when he was ridiculed for his talk of moving to avoid paying his “fair share” of insanely high taxes. @UTKevinAcee Mickelson’s whole 1%er anti-tax […]
