26 “Care not what others think of what I do, but I care very much about what I think of what I do! That is character!” “A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad.” “Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.” Quotes by Theodore Roosevelt: "No man is worth his salt who is not ready at all times to risk his well-being, to risk his body, to risk his life, in a great cause." "There has never yet been a man in our history who led a life of ease whose name is worth remembering." "Get action. Seize the moment. Man was never intended to become an oyster." "For unflagging interest and enjoyment, a household of children, if things go reasonably well, certainly all other forms of success and achievement lose their importance by comparison." "A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad." "I wish to preach, not the doctrine of ignoble ease, but the doctrine of the strenuous life." "I care not what others think of what I do, but I care very much about what I think of what I do! That is character!" "Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing." "In any moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing." "Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far." Theodore Roosevelt
