"It
is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong
man stumbles 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 up short again and again, because there is no effort without error
or shortcoming. But who knows the great enthusiasms, the great
devotions, who spends himself for 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 he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall
never be with shoes cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor
defeat."
