It is worth posting:
To the Man in the Arena
It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the
strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done
them better. The credit belongs to the man 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; who knows
the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a
worthy cause; who, at the best, knows 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 know neither victory nor defeat.
