Miley Cyrus has shown a previously unknown interest in politics, getting an excerpt from President Roosevelt's 1910 Sorbonne speech tattooed on her forearm.

Miley Cyrus tends to spend more time Partying In The USA than debating filibuster reform in the Senate, so it came as a surprise when a new text-based tattoo appeared on her arm reproducing the words of the 26th President of the United States of America, Theodore Roosevelt.
An inspirational quote about the formative nature of victory and defeat, it was taken from a speech he gave in Sorbonne, Paris on April 23, 1910.

The full speech reads: '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 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 and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for 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 he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.'

Cyrus was clearly keen to show off her new ink as she left a pilates session in LA, wearing a sleeveless crop top that drew attention to the tattoo.
The Climb singer put paid to rumours that her father, country signer Billy Ray Cyrus, is concerned about her engagement to actor Liam Hemsworth earlier in the day, melting hearts on Twitter as she posted a touching photo of father and daughter sharing a hug.
