It’s not the critic who counts
or how the strong person stumbled and fell
or where the doer of deeds could have done better.
The credit belongs to the person 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 enthusiasm, the great devotion,
and spends them self in a worthy cause;
and if they fail, at least they fail while daring greatly;
so that they’ll never be confused
with those cold and timid souls
who know neither victory nor defeat.
-- Theodore Roosevelt
