"Arena" — JFK Reads Roosevelt's "Man in the Arena"

In 1910, at the Sorbonne in Paris, Theodore Roosevelt delivered the speech remembered ever since as "The Man in the Arena." A half-century later, President John F. Kennedy read those words aloud — and here they are again, carrying the same charge.

"It is not the critic who counts… The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena."

Roosevelt's challenge — step into the arena, don't watch from the stands — sits at the heart of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in Medora, North Dakota, where every participant is invited to do exactly that.
