"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."
