While I don't put alot of weight in quotes of men, as mankind is fickle in general and our opinions often change as the wind. The following quote is powerful and causes me to think before ever criticising another.
"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 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 up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
Thanks to Theodore Roosevelt and 'The world's fastest Indian' in which his quote was featured.
Hope you guys get as much out of it as I did.
