Me: I hope this is good. I tried to make it look good.
Prodigal: At least you attempted it.
This is from Theodore Roosevelt, speech “Citizenship in a Republic,” delivered in Paris, April 23, 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 and shortcoming; but who does actually try to do the deeds; 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, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
Psalm 121:1
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
