It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. <br /><br />The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat 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 course; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at 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 or defeat <br /><br />-- Theodore Roosevelt, Twenty-Sixth US President 1901-1909<br /><br />I'm willing to put a $100 that President Bush knows this quote by memory.

And still just as true today, Ralph. We seem to have a surplus of do-nothings, critics and finger pointers. They've never been out on the point in their life.
