"Man (or Woman) in the Arena" - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt (26th President of the United States, 1901 - 1909)
"The Man (or Woman) in the Arena" - delivered by Teddy Roosevelt in Paris on April 23, 1910
The speech has been referred to as “The Man (or Woman) in the Arena” and was delivered by Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt (26th President of the United States from 1901 to 1909) and was delivered at the Sorbonne in Paris, France, on April 23, 1910:
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man (or woman) stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man (or woman) who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes [out] short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself (or herself) in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he (or she) fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his (or her) place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
- Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt
