Daring Greatly Note Card

Express the courage you have to get out and try, and do, and fail, and get up, and push on. "It is not the critic who counts; not 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 valuable; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does atually strive to do the deeds; who knows great thusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best know in the end of the triumph high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails to fail when greatly, so place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know victory defective." ~Theodore Roosevelt
