The Credit Belongs

It is not the critic that counts,
The one who points a finger at the doer of deeds
The credit belongs to those who are actually in the arena,
Who strive valiantly, who know the great enthusiasms,
the great devotions, and spend themselves in a worthy cause;
who at the best know the triumph of high achievements and who at the
worst, if they fail, fail while daring greatly, so that their place shall never
be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Theodore Roosevelt
