Theodore Roosevelt,

26th President and Wrestler

“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 come short again and again;

Who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause;

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.”
