“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.”

Theodore Roosevelt
