TEDDY ROOSEVELT (1910) – “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.”
IF TRUMP SPOKE ON THE SAME SUBJECT: “I hate critics, you know? Hate them. I mean, really, when I think of what they do, it just—I want to, like, smack them one. Am I right? Right? I get these guys—they have their media elite badge in their back pocket and they think they know everything. Well, trust me, they don’t. Trust me on this, OK? I know what I’m talking about. Let’s see if they can do what I’ve done. Build big building. I’m talking big buildings. You know, like really big. BIG I’m talking. But these guys? Get outta here. Take a hike, pal!”
