Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president.
To educate a man in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society.
There is but one answer to terrorism and it is best delivered with a Winchester rifle.
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.
Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.
If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn’t sit for a month.
All from Theodore Roosevelt
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.
--All From Theodore Roosevelt
