“ There ’ s a great quote from a famous speech that Theodore Roosevelt gave at the Sorbonne in 1919 :
“ 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 knows great enthusiasms , 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 timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat .”
“ I like to think that at Ark , we and our partners are that man striving to instigate the change that can create a Darwinian moment for the planet .” sustainabilitymag . com 85
