It is not the Critic who counts, nor the person who points out where the strongest stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have or should have done better. The credit belongs to the individual who is actually in the Arena, whos face is marred with dust and sweat and blood. At best, the triumph of high achievment is experienced; if failure is apparent, at least it was done while daring greatly, so that their place shall never be with those cold and timid soulswho new neither victory or defeat. |
When you have come to the edge of all the light which you have know, and are about to step in to the Darkness. True Faith is knowing one of two things will happen. When you reach the other side there will be something to stand on or you will learn to fly. |
Defeat of an enemy or opponent, success in a struggle against difficulties or an obstacle, the state of having triumphed. |
