The credit belongs
to those who are actually in the arena,
who strive valiantly,
who know the great enthusiasms,
the great devotions
and spend themselves in a worthy cause;
who, at the best,
know the triumph of high achievement;
and who, at the worst, if they fail,
fail while daring greatly,
so that their place shall never be with
those cold and timid souls who know neither
victory nor defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt
