It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out the strong
man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them 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 short again and again; who
knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in 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 know neither
victory nor defeat.
Theodore
Roosevelt
