Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.

  • -- Theodore Roosevelt 西奥多·罗斯福

勇敢地去做伟大的事情,去赢得光荣的胜利,即使会受到失败的挫折……而不是与那些既不享受也不太受苦的可怜的人为伍,因为他们生活在一个既不知道胜利也不知道失败的灰暗的黎明里。
