"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 he man who is actually 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, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the
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 knew neither victory nor
defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt
