A man who is good enough to shed his blood for the country is good enough to be given a square deal afterwards. ~ Theodore Roosevelt 1903 A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education. ~ Theodore Roosevelt Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far. ~ Theodore Roosevelt Character, in the long run, is the decisive factor in the life of an individual and of nations alike. ~ Theodore Roosevelt Character is far more important than intellect in making a man a good citizen or successful at his calling- meaning by character not only such qualities as honesty and truthfulness, but courage, perseverance and self-reliance. ~ Theodore Roosevelt 1890 Courtesy is as much a mark of a gentleman as courage. ~ Theodore Roosevelt In a moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing. The worst thing you can do is nothing. ~ Theodore Roosevelt I don't pity any man who does hard work worth doing. I admire him. I pity the creature who does not work, at whichever end of the social scale he may regard himself as being. ~ Theodore Roosevelt In a moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing. The worst thing you can do is nothing. ~ Theodore Roosevelt No man is above the law and no man is below it: nor do we ask any man's permission when we ask him to obey it. ~ Theodore Roosevelt The first requisite of a good citizen in this republic of ours is that he shall be able and willing to pull his own weight. ~ Theodore Roosevelt

"Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it." ~ Honest Abe "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master.

Well, when I think of steroids I think of an image. You have the advantage over someone, which is a form of cheating. I guess it wouldn't be right unless it was legal for everybody. Reason it's not legal for everybody is because it can hurt people seriously. - Evander Holyfield
"To the world you might be one person...but to one person you might be the world!" Unknown "Endevor to live, so that when your time comes to die, even the grim reaper will be sorry."

Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves. ~D.H. Lawrence, Classical American Literature, 1922 Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it. ~George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, "Maxims: Liberty and Equality," 1905
Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are people who want crops without ploughing the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning; they want the ocean without the roar of its many waters. The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand; it never has and it never will. ~ Frederick Douglass None are so hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free ~ Goethe The only part of the conduct of anyone for which he is amenable to society is that which concerns others. In the part which merely concerns himself, his independence is, of right, absolute. Over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is sovereign. ~ John Stuart Mill
