"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, who's face is marred by dust and sweat and blood,who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is not effort without error, or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spent himself for 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 fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."Teddy Roosevelt, 1910 Man in the Arena
