"The credit belongs to the person who is actually in the arena,

whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;

who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again,

because there is no effort without error and shortcoming;

but who does actually strive to do the deeds;

who spends themself in a worthy cause;

who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,

and who at the worst, if they fail, at least fails with daring greatly,

so at their place shall never be with those cold and 

timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

 

- Theodore Roosevelt , Man In the Arena Speech -
