Striving "It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong manstumbles 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 dust andsweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who know the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for 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 he fails while daring greatly, so that this place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt –
