Teddy Roosevelt

 This is one of my favorite quotes.  It was sent to me by Steve Chandler, in one of his email blasts and I had to share it:

"It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points 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 knows the great enthusiasms,
the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at best, knows
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 nor defeat."
