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 up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for 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 lease he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even
though checkered by failure, than to rank with those timid spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the ray of twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat."
