I am an American; free born and free bred, where I acknowledge no man as my superior, except for his own worth, or as my inferior, except for his own demerit.
The things that will destroy America are prosperity at any price, peace at any price, safety first instead of duty first and love of soft living and the get-rich-quick theory of life.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena: whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.
