It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the
strong man stumbled, 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; who knows
the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a
worthy cause; who, at best, knows in the end 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 or defeat.
- President Theodore Roosevelt
