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 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 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 cold and timid souls
who know neither victory nor defeat" (Theodore Roosevelt).
