“It is not the critic who counts; not the one who points out how the strong one stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the one who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms and the great devotions, who spends themselves in a worthy cause, and who, in the end, knows the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if they fail, at least fails while daring greatly, and their place shall never be among those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. ”
— President Theodore Roosevelt
