"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 the 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 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 or defeat."
THEODORE
ROOSEVELT
(Paris Sorbonne,1910)
