Aikido Kenkyukai Santa Barbara

“It is not the critic who counts. … The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, … who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; [the man] 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 he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”

Theodore Roosevelt – (American 26th US President (1901-09), 1858-1919)
