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.

to be fair about half the people in that compilation didn't even try, like the

>lick my balls
""poem.""

I like this idea better in Pope's Essay on Criticism. But there's no harm in making fun of anonymous posters who are unlikely to even find out that they've made the compilation.

>It was a very stormy night. Definitely not dark, the constant sheet lightning in the clouds turned a night of new moon into a night in which you needed a roof or you couldn’t sleep in the bright. It was so bright, you could read by it, making it even brighter than a full moon.
