The message went on to remind readers that there is “no effort without error and shortcoming,” and commends a person 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 fails while daring greatly.”
