Bhakta Rod Davis:<\/p>\n
“It is not the critic who counts;
\nnor the man who points out how the strong man stumbled,
\nor where the doer of deeds could have done better.<\/p>\n
The credit belong to the man who is actually in the arena;
\nwhose face is marred by dust, sweat, blood and tears;
\nwho strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again.<\/p>\n
Who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends
\nhimself in a worthy cause.<\/p>\n
Who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement;
\nand who at the worst,
\nif he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.<\/p>\n
So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls,
\nwho know neither victory nor defeat. This is the difference between those who have
\nexperienced the nectar of distributing Srila Prabhupada books and those who have
\nnever had the good fortune to disributed his wonderful books”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
