16. “It is not the critic who counts. 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 shortcoming; but who does
actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great
enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends
himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows
in the end the triumph of high achievement, and
who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while
daring greatly, so that his place shall never be
with those cold and timid souls who neither know
victory nor defeat.”
Theodore Roosevelt
