"The credit belongs to the people who are 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 their time in a worthy cause; who at best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if they fail, at least fail while daring greatly, so that their  place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
