THE POLITICIAN OCTOBER 2013

N1,500 $10 £7 PILOT EDITION It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out how the strongman 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 out short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming. The person who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasm and devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who “at best” knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst “if he fails”, at least fails while daring greatness, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. Theodore Roosevelt (The 26th President of the United States of America) 1
