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 them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is in the arena, whose face is
marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and
comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great
devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the
worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring
greatly, so that his
place shall never be with those timid souls who knew neither victory nor
defeat.
Theodore
