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 them better.

The credit belongs to the man in the arena,

whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood,

who strives valiantly...who knows the great

enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends

himself in a worthy cause, who at the best know

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

have never known neither victory nor defeat.
