The World Can Be Won

The World Can Be Won

Do not let your fire go out, spark by an irreplaceable spark,
in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all.

Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved,
but have never been able to reach.

Check your road and the nature of your battle.
The world you desired can be won.
It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.

The Man Who Dares

The Man Who Dares

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled
or where the doer of deeps 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 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 least knows in the end the triumph of high achievement;
and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring gently,
so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls
who know neither victory nor defeat.
