Whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood. Who strives valiantly. Who errs and comes short again and again. Who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worth cause. Who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement. And who, at worst, if he fails… …at least fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls… ZZZ …who know neither victory or defeat. - Theodore Roosevelt
