THE FIREFIGHTER
“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 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.”
Theodore Roosevelt 1910 |
