"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 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; because there is not effort without
error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who
know the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a
worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumphs of high
achievement and who at the 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.
