The credit belongs to the one
who strives valiantly;
who comes up short again and again;
who knows great enthusiasm and great devotion;
who spends himself in a worthy cause;
and 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 timid souls
who know neither victory nor defeat.
~ Theodore Roosevelt
