The best executive is the one who has sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done, and self-restraint to keep from meddling with them while they do it.
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.
I would rather go out of politics having the feeling that I had done what was right than stay in with the approval of all men, knowing in my heart that I have acted as I ought not to.
