"You can't choose your potential, but you..." - Quote by Theodore Roosevelt

“Councils of War never fight.”

“We do not admire a man of timid peace.”

“It tires me to talk to rich men. You expect a man of millions, the head of a great industry, to be a man worthhearing; but as a rule they don't know anything outside their own business.”

“Character is a quality that embodies many important traits, such as integrity, courage, perseverance, confidence and wisdom. Unlike your fingerprints that you are born with and can't change, character is something that you create within yourself and must take responsibility for changing”

“A man must thank his defects, and stand in some terror of his talents. A transcendent talent draws so largely on his forces as tolame him; a defect pays him revenues on the other side.”

“The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places. If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way. Great achievement is usually born of great sacrifice, and is never the result of selfishness.”

“And still, the best of us build, and reach monetary gains. Some of us kill, but still, most of us can change.”

“There are cases in which the blade springs, but the plant does not go on to flower. There are cases where it flowers, but no fruit is subsequently produced.”

“You can see in others what they don't see in themselves and what the world doesn't see in them.”
