By being willing to accept small losses, they put themselves in position to make large gains.

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.

Who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
