You, the sons of the pioneers, if you are true to your ancestry, must make your lives as worthy as they made theirs. They sought for true success, and therefore they did not seek ease. They knew that success comes only to those who lead the life of endeavor

Believe you can do it and you are halfway there

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

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; . . . who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.

I have often thought that unselfishness combined in one word more of the teachings of the Bible than any other in the language.

This country will not be a good place for any of us to live in unless we make it a good place for all of us to live in.

Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.
