The one quality which sets one man apart from another- the key which lifts one to every aspiration while others are caught up in the mire of mediocrity- is not talent, formal education, nor intellectual brightness – it is self-discipline. With self-discipline all things are possible. Without it, even the simplest goal can seem like the impossible dream.
Theodore Roosevelt
Per Angusta Ad Augusta. Through difficulties come honors.
Teddy was a bit wordy, wasn’t he. But I always thought his man in the arena theme was great.
Listen up, people! It’s also called self-restraint. Put down the damn phones and do something productive!
