“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 and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, 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 he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”

“I run to win. I do not run to be No 1. If winning places me in the No 1 spot, all well and good. I pummel my body and exercise my mental and spiritual faculties to be the best I can be. That's all that matters to me. The happy and fulfilled life is not a race track for inordinate ambitions. It is a winners' lane where people of honour strive to improve on their best efforts. So, count me out of the rat race because I am not racing against anyone but constantly working towards besting my best efforts. Besides, the last time I checked, I was not a rat.”
