I have had a great time as president.

Over-sentimentality, over-softness, in fact washiness and mushiness are the great dangers of this age and of this people. Unless we keep the barbarian virtues, gaining the civilized ones will be of little avail.

Never trust a man who says he is only a little crooked, and that the crookedness is exercised in your interest.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred with dust and sweat; who strives valiantly; who errs and may fall again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming.

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

We have duties to others, and duties to ourselves, and we cannot shirk either.

We do not admire a man of timid peace.
