Mahatma Ghandi
The Arena
It is not the critic that 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 who is actually in the arena. Whose face is marred by dust, sweat, and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, (For there is no effort without error and shortcoming.) who actually does strive to do the deeds, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worth cause, who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.
~ Teddy Roosevelt
