Perhaps Teddy Roosevelt said it best...

"It is not the critic who counts, or how the strongman stumbled and fell, or where the doer of deeds could have done better.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotion, and who spends himself in a worthy cause.

If he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that he may never be one of those cold and timid souls, who know neither victory nor defeat. "

As someone said earlier, there is always a surfeit of critics for any GREAT man, but Carroll Shelby WAS in the arena, KNEW great enthusiasms, spent himself in a worthy cause, knew victory and defeat and inspired THOUSANDS of us!

Well done sir!
