Dr. F. C. Allen -2- 10/1/38

across to certain ones as it was so beautifully put once by Theodore
Roosevelt. He said:

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who
points out how the strong man stumbled, 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 errs and comes short again
and again; who knows the great enthusiasms and great de-
votions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the
best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievements,
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 know neither victory nor defeat."

Thanks for this little chat with you, Doctor.

Best of all good wishes to you,
