It’s not the critic that counts. It’s not the man who points out where the strong man stumbled. Credit belongs to the man in the area, his face marred in dust, sweat and blood who strives valiantly, who comes up short time and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming. It is actually the man who strives to do the deeds, who knows the great enthusiasm and great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause who at best, knows in the end the triumph of great achievement. And at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place will never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”
— Theodore Roosevel
