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 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 comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms,
the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who,
at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,
and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring
greatly, so that his place shall never be with those timid souls
who know neither victory nor defeat." Theodore
