not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have
done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is
marred with sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short
again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself
in a worthy cause; who, if he wins, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, 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 or defeat.
