"The one thing I want to leave..." - Quote by Theodore Roosevelt

“Rhetoric is a poor substitute for action, and we have trusted only to rhetoric. If we are really to be a great nation, we must not merely talk; we must act big.”

“It is time for us now as a nation to exercise the same reasonable foresight in dealing with our great natural resources that would be shown by any prudent man in conserving and widely using the property which contains the assurance of well-being for himself and his children.”

“The most ultimately righteous of all wars is a war with savages.”

“Death makes no conquest of this conqueror: For now he lives in fame, though not in life.”

“Successful is the person who has lived well, laughed often and loved much, who has gained the respect of children, who leaves the world better than they found it, who has never lacked appreciation for the earth's beauty, who never fails to look for the best in others or give the best of themselves.”

“History and the generations to come will judge our leaders by the decisions they make in the coming weeks.”

“He that hath a calling, hath an office of profit and honor.”

“Everyone honors the wise.”

“If you seek what is honorable, what is good, what is the truth of your life, all the other things you could not imagine come as a matter of course.”
