Gary Toombs

It's 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 better. The credit belongs to the man who is in the arena; whose face is marred by dust, 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, in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly. So his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
