Man in the arena was only part of a speech given by President Theodore Roosevelt but it is one of the most recited quotes in the world. President Roosevelt believed that the success of a republic depended on the character and discipline of its citizens not on simply their intelligence. In life people are going to look at what you are doing and they will criticize you and tell you that you will never make it, that you are not food enough. At the end of the day those people do not matter. You must ignore their unproductive cries and forge ahead on your own path. Success is the fastest way to shut them up and leave them speechless and even then there are no promises. You will always have critics and the number will only grow the more successful you become. As you are in the arena of life, work for what you want and never give up. Make sure your place is never with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
