The Man in the Arena

The Man In The Arena It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood who strives valiantly, who errs who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without effort and shortcomings but who actually strives to do the deed who knows great enthusiasm, the great devotions who spends himself in a worthy cause who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement  and at the worst, if he fails at least he fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who never know history or defeat. - Theodore Roosevelt PRODUCT INFORMATION Print available in 3 sizes.
