The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;... who at the best knows the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
