"The lives of truest heroism are those..." - Quote by Theodore Roosevelt

“The fool who has not sense to discriminate between what is good and what is bad is well nigh as dangerous as the man who does discriminate and yet chooses the bad.”

“There were all kinds of things I was afraid of at first, ranging from grizzly bears to 'mean' horses and gun-fighters; but by acting as if I was not afraid I gradually ceased to be afraid.”

“There is no good reason why we should fear the future, but there is every reason why we should face it seriously, neither hiding from ourselves the gravity of the problems before us nor fearing to approach these problems with the unbending, unflinching purpose to solve them aright.”

“The hero is not fed on sweets, Daily his own heart he eats; Chambers of the great are jails, And head-winds right for royal sails.”

“All your wounds from craving loveExist because of heroic deeds.”

“And each man stands with his face in the light. Of his own drawn sword, ready to do what a hero can.”

“Every day in a life fills the whole life with expectations and memory.”

“...if a man comes to his fortieth year, and has any understanding at all, he has virtually seen - thanks to their similarity - all possible happenings, both past and to come.”

“I have no wish to take life, not even human life”
