"If you could kick the person in..." - Quote by Theodore Roosevelt

“It is by no means necessary that a great nation should always stand at the heroic level. But no nation has the root of greatness in it unless in time of need it can rise to the heroic mood.”

“One of our defects as a nation is a tendency to use what have been called "weasel words."”

“Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.”

“How others treat me is their path; how I react is mine.”

“Happiness is there for the taking - and the making.”

“The road to success, for me, was a long and arduous journey, strewn with obstacles and traps, pitfalls and hurdles-all created by myself. Painful as it is, I speak of those sad and frustrating times whenever I am invited to address sales gatherings, corporate conventions, and success rallies, in the hope that my personal experiences will serve as sufficient evidence for all who hear me that they have it in their own power to make their lives as glorious or as terrible as they choose.”

“Will Rogers once said it is not the original investment in a Congressman that counts; it is the upkeep.”

“He thinks I look alike!”

“If you even dream of beating me you'd better wake up and apologize.”
