The government is us; WE are the government, you and I."- Theodore Roosevelt

It is a wicked thing to be neutral between right and wrong.

The boy who is going to make a great man must not make up his mind merely to overcome a thousand obstacles, but to win in spite of a thousand repulses and defeats.

I put myself in the way of things happening, and they happened.

The unforgivable crime is soft hitting. Do not hit at all if it can be avoided; but never hit softly.

Never hit if you can help it, but when you have to, hit hard. Never hit soft. You'll never get any thanks for hitting soft.

Show me a man who makes no mistakes, and I will show you a man who doesn't do things.
