It
is not the critic who counts,
not
the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doers of
deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man
who is actually 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 enthusiasm,
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
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, while he was the
Assistant
Police Commissioner of the City of New York
Blessed
are the peacemakers, for they will be
called
sons of God. (Matthew 5:9)
