Found a cool quote. Exiting CIA Director George Tenet quoted Theodore Roosevelt in a speech to CIA employees:

"It is not the critic who counts, nor 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."

Thanks for posting that. That happens to be my favorite Roosevelt quote and was on my wall when I was a manager.
