"The Man in the Arena"

21/4/2019

0 Comments

 
" 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." 

Theodore Roosevelt, at the Sorbonne in Paris, France on April 23, 1910

With gratitude to​ Brené Brown,  for quoting the above passage in her new Netflix ​ special "Call to Courage."​​​

Where after all, do universal human rights begin?

​In small places, close to home – so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual person; the neighbourhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm or office where he works ... unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world.’
 
Eleanor Roosevelt, 
Chairman of the United Nations Human Rights Commission, 1948
