In The Arena

"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 better. The credit belongs
to the man who is actually in the arena;
whose face is marred by the 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 course; who
at the best, knows in the end the triumph of
high achievement, and who, at worst, if he
fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so
that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who
know neither victory or defeat."

-- Theodore Roosevelt
