Roosevelt

Kennon-Green & Co. Fiduciary Financial Advisor, Wealth Management, Global Value Investing

RooseveltIt 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 the cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

– President Theodore Roosevelt

What can we learn from the wise words of the former President?  If you have a dream, get off your ass and make it happen.  Otherwise be content with the life you have.  Talk is cheap.  You have to try.
