- It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles 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, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows that great enthusiasm, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knowns in the end the triumph of high achievements 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 never know victory nor defeat. - Winston Churchhill
Brene Brown writes amazing books about overcoming our difficulties and living authentic lives in the world. She shapes one of my favorite of her books around this quote as an instruction manual on how to live.
