Theodore Roosevelt
The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.
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.
