Jul 2012

"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 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 up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for 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 knew neither victory nor defeat.

The difference between the the House and the Senate is like chicken shit and chicken salad.

Life and elections can be like that too.

The one I refer to was when he was asked by someone the diff between the House where he spent time and the Senate where he of course was King.

The other time was responding to one of Nixon's speeches witch was Big BS. So he made a statement that one day you had chicken shit and the next day it is chicken salad. There again I paraphrase.
