❝ “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 errs and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming.” 2418 Theodore Roosevelt
❝ “The nation behaves well if it treats the natural resources as assets which it must turn over to the next generation increased, and not impaired, in value.” 2418 Theodore Roosevelt
❝ “The man who really counts in the world is the doer, not the mere critic, the man who actually does the work, even if roughly and imperfectly, not the man who only talks or writes about how it ought to be done.” 2418 Theodore Roosevelt
❝ “There is no good reason why we should fear the future, but there is every reason why we should face it seriously.” 2418 Theodore Roosevelt
❝ “In life, as in a foot-ball game, the principle to follow is: Hit the line hard; don’t foul and don’t shirk, but hit the line hard!” 2418 Theodore Roosevelt
❝ “My position as regards the moneyed interests can be put in a few words. In every civilized society property rights must be carefully safeguarded; ordinarily, and in the great majority of cases, human rights and property rights are fundamentally and in the long run identical; but when it clearly appears that there is a real conflict between them, human rights must have the upper hand, for property belongs to man and not man to property.” 2418 Theodore Roosevelt
❝ “We, upon many occasions, see wise and good men on the wrong as well as on the right side of questions of the first magnitude to society. This circumstance, if duly attended to, would furnish a lesson of moderation to those who are ever so much persuaded of their being in the right in any controversy.” 2418 Alexander Hamilton
❝ “In disquisitions of every kind, there are certain primary truths, or first principles, upon which all subsequent reasonings must depend.” 2418 Alexander Hamilton
“If the end be clearly comprehended within any of the specified powers, and if the measure have an obvious relation to that end, and is not forbidden by any particular provision of the Constitution- it may safely be deemed to come within the compass of the national authority.” 2418 Alexander Hamilton
