This is not the critic who counts. Not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled. Or where the doer or deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena. Whose face is marred by the 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 the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement. And who at 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 or defeat. -Theodore Roosevelt
Gavin, this is one of my all-time favorite quotes. My dad has a ragged newspaper clipping of this speech framed on his desk. I try to refer back to it when I feel knocked down. I really enjoy Zen Pencils for this reason – a lot of good quotes, and great drawings that illustrate them.
