“It’s not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the
strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done them
better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena;
whose face is marred with the sweat and dust and blood; who strives
valiantly; who errs and comes up short again and again;
Who knows the
great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy
cause and who, at best knows 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, 1858-1919, 26th
US President and 1906 Nobel Peace Prize-winner.
