Famous Quote from Theodore Roosevelt

There have been times where trying something new or coming up with a different plan or sailing on unmarked waters (whatever it might be) was just not the popular thing to do. I have learned that each time I've stepped forward, sometimes with fear, I'm a better person because I choose to dive-in in that direction.

The following quote is made by our past President Theodore Roosevelt, a boxing analogy:

"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again because there is not effort without error and shortcoming; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotion, spends himself in a worthy cause; who at 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 who have never tasted victory or defeat."
