It is not the critic who counts: not the one who points out how the strong stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the one who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat 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 knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends thyself for a worthy cause, who, at the best, knows in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if there is failure, at least fail while daring greatly, so that their place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.
