It's not the critic that.....

[Herefordcross]

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
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 short again and again, who
knows the great enthusiasms, the great
devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause,
who at best knows 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.

Theodore Roosevelt

The source of my signature. Have recited this quote several times while speaking publicly, including in the presence of and in honor of Gov Bob Riley. Sends chills up my spine every time.
