It is not the critic who counts; not
the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where
the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit
belongs to the man (or woman) in the arena, whose
face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives
valiantly... who knows the great enthusiasm, 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 cold and timid
souls who have never known neither victory nor defeat.
