QUOTES

 Here is another batch of quotes from a military man/politician.  This one spans from the 19th into the 20th century.  These are from the mind of  Theodore Roosevelt;  President of the United States, Rough Rider, statesman, naturalist  and author.  His likeness is weathered on the rocks of Mt. Rushmore National Memorial.

"...the only wise and honorable and Christian thing to do is to treat each black man and each white man strictly on his merits as a man, giving him no more and no less than he shows himself worthy to have."

"We must dare to be great;  and we must realize that greatness is the fruit of toil and sacrifice and high courage."

"I have always been fond of the West African proverb:  Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far."

"The government is us;  we are the government, you and I."

"Let us speak courteously, deal fairly and keep ourselves armed and ready."

"The only man who makes no mistakes is the one who never does anything."

"A sound body is good, a sound mind is better; but a strong and clean character is better then either."

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

He was very quotable.
