"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 and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the
great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best, knows
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 know neither victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt, April 23, 1910, in a speech to the University of Paris
