"Let us rather run the risk of..." - Quote by Theodore Roosevelt

“The most practical kind of politics is the politics of decency.”

“When liberty becomes license, some form of one-man power is not far distant.”

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

“I don't stand back and judge - I do.”

“Courage, like fear, is a habit. The more you do it, the more you do it, and this habit-of stepping up, of taking action-more than anything else, will move you in a different direction.”

“One person can and does make a difference.”

“Courage is not having the strength to go on, it is going on when you don't have the strength. Industry and determination can do anything that genius and advantage can do and many things that they cannot.”

“Why do you climb philosophical hills? Because they are worth climbing . . . There are no hills to go down unless you start from the top.”

“Do what's right! Do the best you can and treat others the way you want to be treated because they will ask three questions: (1) Can I trust you? (2) Are you committed? (3) Do you care about me as a person?”
