There can be no life without change, and to be afraid of what is different or unfamiliar is to be afraid of life.

Perhaps the most incapable Executive that ever filled the presidential chair...it would be difficult to imagine a man less fit to guide the state with honor and safety through the stormy times that marked the opening of the present century.

Never throughout history has a man who lived a life of ease left a name worth remembering.

I wish to preach, not the doctrine of ignoble ease, but the doctrine of the strenuous life.

The worst of all fears is the fear of living

It is of little use for us to pay lip-loyalty to the mighty men of the past unless we sincerely endeavor to apply to the problems of the present precisely the qualities which in other crises enabled the men of that day to meet those crises.

We are face to face with our destiny and we must meet it with a high and resolute courage.
