The only man who never makes mistakes is the man who never does anything.
When you're at the end of your rope, tie a knot and hold on.
No one cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.
To educate a person in the mind but not in morals is to educate a menace to society.
Knowing what's right doesn't mean much unless you do what's right.
Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground.
If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month.
Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty. I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well.
I am a part of everything that I have read.
Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.
To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.
Courage is not having the strength to go on; it is going on when you don’t have the strength.
Here is your country. Cherish these natural wonders, cherish the natural resources, cherish the history and romance as a sacred heritage, for your children and your children’s children. Do not let selfish men or greedy interests skin your country of its beauty, its riches or its romance.
When you play, play hard; when you work, don’t play at all.
Never throughout history has a man who lived a life of ease left a name worth remembering.
Comparison is the thief of joy.
If you’ve got them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow.
To waste, to destroy our natural resources, to skin and exhaust the land instead of using it so as to increase its usefulness, will result in undermining in the days of our children the very prosperity which we ought by right to hand down to them amplified and developed.
We despise and abhor the bully, the brawler, the oppressor, whether in private or public life, but we despise no less the coward and the voluptuary. No man is worth calling a man who will not fight rather than submit to infamy or see those that are dear to him suffer wrong.
The joy in life is his who has the heart to demand it.
