Thanks for posting the comments of this man who was not only most colorful but also insightful and courageous.I especially enjoyed this passage.

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 no effort without error and
shortcoming; but who does actually strive 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.


Cheers
Ed

Hi, UF. Thanks for the great quote. I have to say that the sneering cynic seems to correspond to many in both the news and entertainment media, and quite a few in the academic world, the social sciences part anyway.

The peer pressure in these places seems to be heavily toward "Only the stupid don't sneer"

AAaaaaaaah, got that off my chest! :)
