The man who does nothing cuts the same sordid figure in the pages of history, whether he be cynic, or fop, or voluptuary.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood.
the fate of the leader for the time being is of little consequence, but the cause itself must in the end triumph, for its triumph is essential to the well-being of the American people.
