"I do believe in outdoor games and I do not mind in the least that they are rough games, or that those who take part in them are occasionally injured. I have no sympathy whatsoever with overwrought sentimentality which would keep a young man in cotton-wool, and I have a hearty contempt for him if he counts a broken arm or a collarbone as of serious consequence when balanced against the chance of showing that he possesses hardihood, physical address and courage."
Teddy Roosevelt
