Theodore Roosevelt Spoke The Words That Guide My Life

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds
might have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man 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. Because there is no effort without error, there can be no achievement
without setback.
The credit belongs to the man who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms and the great
devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause.
Who at best, in the end, knows the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, should he fail, at least fails while
daring greatly.
For his place shall never be among those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
