"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat."
~ Theodore Roosevelt
This passage is from his essay titled "The Strenuous Life," which he delivered as an address at the Hamilton Club in Chicago on April 10, 1899. The phrase "Dare Mighty Things" has since become a popular motto associated with his philosophy of active engagement and resilience.
