KISWAHILI
“[Sifa zinapaswa kutolewa kwa mtu ambaye] kwa kweli anajitahidi kufanya matendo;
“ambaye anajua shauku kubwa, ibada kuu; ambaye anatumia mwenyewe katika jambo linalostahili;
“ambaye anajua vyema zaidi, mwishowe, ushindi wa mafanikio ya juu,
“na ni nani, kama akishindwa, basi, ashindwe na kuthubutu sana; na
“mahali pake hapatakuwa na wale watu baridi na waoga wasiojua ushindi wala kushindwa.”
- Theodore Roosevelt, U.S. President (1910)
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
“[The credit belongs to the man who] does actually strive to do the deeds;
who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause;
who at the best knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement,
and who at the worst, if he fails, at least [he] fails while daring greatly, [and]
his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
- Theodore Roosevelt, U.S. President (1910)
