“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 … who, at best knows in the end the triumph of great achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, or at least fails while daring greatly. So that his place will never be with those cold timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.”

Theodore Roosevelt
