Worth Contemplating

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles....  The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who at his worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.  ....  Our place shall never be with those cold and timid souls...." 

- proclaimed by Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt in his famous speech in 1910 at the Sorbonne in Paris, as quoted by Gary Friedman, Chairman and Co-CEO of Restoration Hardware in their fall catalog.
