Boys in blue red in face

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...

Excuses, excuses...

I've got to remember those phrases for the next time I miss a deadline at work.

I actually think I've heard similar excuses somewhere. Now where was it, oh yeah...
