"It is not the critic who
counts, nor the man who points how 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 knows the great
enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at
best, knows the triumph 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 Rooselvelt
