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.

Do what may bring him shame in others' eyes;
For more of those who shrink from shame are safe
Than fall in battle, while with those who flee
Is neither glory nor reprieve from death.
