More From Theodore Roosevelt

The credit belongs to those who are actually in the arena, who strive valiantly; who know the great enthusiasums, the great devotions, and spend themselves in a worthy cause; who at best know the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, if they fail, fail while daring greatly, so that their place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

No sovereign, no court, no personal loyalty, no aristocracy, no church, no clergy, no army, no diplomatic service, no country gentlemen, no palaces, no castles, nor manors, nor old country-houses, nor parsonages, nor thatched cottages nor ivied ruins no cathedrals, nor abbeys, nor little norman churches no great universities nor public schools -- no oxford, nor eton, nor harrow no literature, no novels, no museums, no pictures, no political society, no sporting class -- no epsom nor ascot some such list as that might be drawn up of the absent things in american life.

Commonly, people believe that defeat is characterized by a general bustle and a feverish rush. bustle and rush are the signs of victory, not of defeat. victory is a thing of action. it is a house in the act of being built. every participant in victory sweats and puffs, carrying the stones for the building of the house. but defeat is a thing of weariness, of incoherence, of boredom. and above all of futility.

On the other side, the conservative party, composed of the most moderate, able, and cultivated part of the population, is timid, and merely defensive of property. it vindicates no right, it aspires to no real good, it brands no crime, it proposes no generous policy, it does not build, nor write, nor cherish the arts, nor foster religion, nor establish schools, nor encourage science, nor emancipate the slave, nor befriend the poor, or the indian, or the immigrant.

He that plays the king shall be welcome- his majesty shall have tribute of me; the adventurous knight shall use his foil and target; the lover shall not sigh gratis; the humorous man shall end his part in peace; the clown shall make those laugh whose lungs are tickle o' th' sere; and the lady shall say her mind freely, or the blank verse shall halt fort.

Swords have been my life, not books. but every child knows that the targaryens have always danced too close to madness. your father was not the first. king jaehaerys once told me that madness and greatness are two sides of the same coin. every time a new targaryen is born, he said, the gods toss the coin in the air and the world holds its breath to see how it will land.

History is always written wrong, and so always needs to be rewritten. ...what is interesting is brought forward as if it had been central and efficacious in the march of events, and harmonies are turned into causes. kings and generals are endowed with motives appropriate to what the historian values in their actions; plans are imputed to them prophetic of their actual achievements, while the thoughts that really preoccupied them remain buried in absolute oblivion.
