A man who has never gone to school may steal a freight car;... - Theodore Roosevelt

"Only those are fit to live who do not fear to die; and none are fit to die who have shrunk from the joy of life and the duty of life. Both life and death are parts of the same Great Adventure."

"The only man who never makes mistakes is the man who never does anything."

"The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life."

"In this country we have no place for hyphenated Americans."

"Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it, you've got to start young."
