Man in the Arena Teddy Roosevelt Speech Coffee Mug

Adapted from the famous speech by Teddy Roosevelt, this quote will inspire all who read it. Makes a great graduation gift or for anyone going through a difficult time. The speech was called The Man in the Arena, or also Citizenship in a Republic. 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, who comes 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 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 neither know victory nor defeat.
