Theodore Roosevelt once said

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena

Whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood

Who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions

And spends himself in a worthy cause

Who, at the best, if he wins

Knows the thrills of high achievement

And if he fails

At least fails while daring greatly

So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls

Who know neither victory nor defeat
