What amazes me about Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States, was his incessant desire to learn and push the envelope. He didn’t let his physical weaknesses hold him down. Circumstances were more of an afterthought, than something that would influence his movement forward. He truly embodied the word, “tenacity.”
Hence, this quote:
Far better to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory, nor defeat.
