sam and the city

At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them

Good day faithful readers. Yesterday I visited the field of Remembrance in from of Westminster Abbey for Remembrance Day. The follow is a nice quote that someone had placed alongside on of the regiments. I thought that I would share it with you all.

"Its not the critic, who counts, or how the strong man stumbled and fell, or where the doer of deeds could have done 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 comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotion, and spends himself in a worthy cause; and if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that he'll never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

Theodore Roosevelt
