"It is 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 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 the least knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while doing greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

Theodore Roosevelt

PSALMUS 144
1 Benedictus Dominus, adiutor meus,
qui docet manus meas ad proelium
et digitos meos ad bellum.
2 Misericordia mea et fortitudo mea,
refugium meum et liberator meus;
scutum meum, et in ipso speravi,
qui subdit populum meum sub me.
