| Theodore Roosevelt on Courage |
| "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 short again and again because there is not effort without error and shortcoming;
but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great
devotions; who spends himself in 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 know
neither victory nor defeat." |
