"The men and women who have the..." - Quote by Theodore Roosevelt

“Alike for the nation and the individual, the one indispensable requisite is character.”

“There should be relentless exposure of and attack upon every evil practice, whether in politics, in business, or in social life. I hail as a benefactor every writer or speaker, every man who, on the platform, or in book, magazine or newspaper, with merciless severity makes such attack, provided always that he in his turn remembers that the attack is of use only if it is absolutely truthful.”

“No man is above the law, and no man is below it.”

“I must uphold my ideals, for perhaps the time will come when I shall be able to carry them out.”

“That which an age considers evil is usually an unseasonable echo of what was formerly considered good - the atavism of an old ideal.”

“LIBERTY! FREEDOM! DEMOCRACY! True anyhow no matter how many Liars use those words.”

“Rely upon your own judgment; be true to your own conscience; follow the light that is within you; all outward lights are so many will-o'-the-wisps. There will be those who tell you that you are foolish; that your judgment is faulty; that your conscience is all awry, and that the light within you is darkness; but heed them not. If what they say is true, the sooner you, as a searcher of wisdom, find it out the better, and you can only make that discovery by bringing your powers to the test. Therefore, pursue your course bravely.”

“Be brave. Even if you're not pretend to be.No one can tell the difference.”

“I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees.”
