"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 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 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 least
he fails while daring
greatly, so that his place
shall never be with those
cold and timid souls who
knew neither victory nor
defeat."
President Teddy
Roosevelt (R),
"Citizenship in
a Republic," Speech at the
Sorbonne, Paris, April
23, 1910 |
