        <h2>Speech, Draft 13-2</h2>
        <h3>Introduction</h3>
        <p>
            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 them 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, who
            comes short again and again, because there is no effort
            without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive
            to do the deeds; who knowns great enthusiasims, the great
            devotions; who spends himself in 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 fails while daring
            greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold
            and <del>forgotten</del> timid souls who neither know victory
            nor defeat.
