" 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 best if he wins knows the thrills of high achievement - and if fails at least fails while daring greatly - so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat".
--Theodore Roosevelt
