"It is not the critic that counts; not the man who points out how the strong
man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them 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, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; who at the worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though
checkered by failure, than to rank with those spirits who neither enjoy nor
suffer much because they live in the grey twilight that knows neither
victory nor defeat."

-Theodore Roosevelt
