Chapter 19 – Safe for Democracy 1916-1920
Era of Intervention
It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out
how the strong man stumbled, 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 and comes
short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the
great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause;
who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high
achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails
while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with
those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt
