Small Finds While Doing Homework




While researching for my senior project documentary, I came across a speech that Teddy Roosevelt delivered on April 23, 1910. Here is an excerpt:

"The poorest way to face life is to face it with a sneer. There are many who feel a kind of twisted pride in cynicism; there are many who confine themselves to criticism of the way others do what they themselves dare not even attempt."

I read on, and realized this portion came just before the now-famous, "It is not the critic who counts..." part of the speech.
