“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles…. 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, who comes
short again and again, … but who does actually strive to do the deeds…. who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end 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 neither know victory nor defeat….”
- Theodore Roosevelt
