"Cold and Timid souls Who Neither Know Victory or Defeat"

Perhaps this quote from Teddy Roosevelt could apply to the Christian walk. Courage has diminished in our day, the courage to speak the truth and live the truth of the Bible. Perhaps because faith has diminished so had courage in direct proportions. Pay close attention to the last phrase of Roosevelt's quote; "so that his placed shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory or defeat."

The quote by Teddy Roosevelt:
“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.”
