“The greater the ignorance the greater the dogmatism.”

― Sir William Osler

 

[Bacpacker]

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, 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 those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Teddy Roosevelt, 1910

My father, who served three tours over Vietnam, had that frame on the wall next to an incased American flag and a picture of the actual BUFF he flew during two of this three tours. I am thankful the Lord took my father a few years ago as what is happening today would have ate him up from the inside.

While out and about today, I thought if how things have been so when I ran across a little book "Words on Kindness" for a dollar, I got it.
Here are a couple I like:
I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again. William Penn (1644-1718)
The Sufis advise us to speak only after our words pass through three gates. At the first gate, we ask ourselves, "Are these words true?" If so, we let them pass on; if not, back they go. At the second gate, we ask "Are they necessary?" At the last gate, we ask, "Are they kind?" Eknath Easwaran
