Transcript Slide 1

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 them 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 the best knows in the end
the triumphs of high 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 defeat nor victory.
-- Theodore Roosevelt
