The Man in the Arena - a speech by Teddy Roosevelt delivered at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910.
Application NOT Theory-Criticism
- 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,
and comes short again and again,
Hymn - I Vow to Thee, My Country
And there's another country
I've heard of long ago
Most dear to them that love her
Most great to them that know
We may (we may not count her armies)
We may (we may not see her King)
Her fortress is a faithful heart
Her pride is suffering
And soul by soul and silently
her shining bounds increase,
And her ways are ways of gentleness,
and all her paths are peace.
The Queen and I: Reflections of a Christian from a Commonwealth state
In her Christmas message in 2004, the Queen said, "For me, as a Christian, one of the most important of these teachings is contained in the parable of the Good Samaritan, when Jesus answers the question, 'Who is my neighbour?'
It is a timeless story of a victim of a mugging who was ignored by his own countrymen but helped by a foreigner – and a despised foreigner at that.
The implication drawn by Jesus is clear. Everyone is our neighbour, no matter what race, creed or colour. The need to look after a fellow human being is far more important than any cultural or religious differences."
The Queen's personal faith has been much discussed. I thank God for the example of a faithful leader in her.
