It is not the
critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man
stumbled, 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 the dust and sweat and blood; who
strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again;
who
knows the 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 worst, if he fails,
at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall
never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory
nor defeat.—Theodore Roosevelt
