checkered dare enjoy far fearing glorious grey holds knows mighty moves neither nor poor rank rather roosevelt spirits spite succeeds success suffer teddy though twilight victory win
The person who succeeds is not the one who holds back, fearing failure, nor the one who never fails... but rather the one who moves on im spite of failure.
