It’s not the critic who counts nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could’ve done them better. 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 and come short again and again. Who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause. And, who at best in the end knows 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 timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat. Theodore Roosevelt
