"Unless the man is master of his..." - Quote by Theodore Roosevelt

“Everyone loves justice in the affairs of another.”

“It is not often that a man can make opportunities for himself. But he can put himself in such shape that when or if the opportunities come he is ready.”

“There is nothing more distressing ... than the hard, scoffing spirit which treats the allegation of dishonesty in a public man as a cause for laughter. Such laughter is worse than the crackling of thorns under a pot, for it denotes not merely the vacant mind, but the heart in which high emotions have been choked before they could grow to fruition.”

“He who cannot obey himself will be commanded. That is the nature of living creatures.”

“He who conquers himself is the mightiest warrior.”

“I don't want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.”

“A strenuous soul hates cheap success.”

“Look closely at those who patronize you. Half are unfeeling, half untaught.”

“The habit of taking the line of least resistance makes all rivers and some men crooked.”
