“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out howthe strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have donethem better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in thearena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; whostrives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again,because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but whodoes actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms,the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who atthe best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and whoat the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, sothat his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls whoneither know victory nor defeat.”
