The Man in the Arena- Teddy Roosevelt
“It is not the critic who counts: noth the man who points out how the strong man stumblles, 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, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcomings: but who does actually strive to do the deeds: who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions: who spends himself in the worthy cause, who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be wit those cold and timid souls whose neither know victory or defeat.
