“Daring greatly”. That was the phrase coined by that whirlwind of masculinity known to the world as Teddy – Theodore Roosevelt. While in Paris in April 1910, Roosevelt gave a speech that has come to be known as “The Man in the Arena” speech. The speech, which I have my boys memorize and have written about here, implores men to take action, to refuse to be someone who sits on the sidelines of life. Such a person, if he fails, at least fails while “daring greatly”, a state much better than merely surviving on the sidelines.
