ON WINNING HERE IS A POEM

suitable for

RICHARD

It is not the critic who counts,

nor 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 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 best knows 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
