“It is not the critic who counts, nor the individual who indicates how the strong man stumbles, or how he could have performed an action better. The honor belongs to the man who actually stands in the arena, whose face is marked by dust, sweat, and blood; who struggles with courage; who repeatedly errs, for there is no attempt without error and shortcoming; who actually struggles to achieve the goal; who knows great enthusiasm, great dedication, and who spends himself for a just cause; who at best knows at the end the triumph of great achievements, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least falls knowing that he has dared enough. So his place will never be beside those timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”
Signed Theodore Roosevelt
