Maximus Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 14 minutes ago, VvD said: They're right there in the final. I like the Theodore Roosevelt quote: 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. Perhaps a bit over the top for this situation but I think you get the point. As TC pointed out one other time, Dennis Connors put it a little more succinctly. have you been drinking VvD? If not, have a cold one, it'll help you relax; if you have, stop - you've lost your sense of humour again. And if the 'succinct' DC advice is aimed at Max, take a dose it yourself!
