It is not the critic who counts. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by…blood, who strives valiantly, who errs, who comes short…who spends himself in a worthy cause…daring greatly.
Theodore Roosevelt, 4/23/1910 in Paris, “Citizenship in a Republic.” Cited by Eric Lindner, Tiger in the Sea, pg.319.
