“If an American is to amount to anything he must rely upon himself, and not upon the State; he must take pride in his own work, instead of sitting idle to envy the luck of others. He must face life with resolute courage, win victory if he can, and accept defeat if he must, without seeking to place on his fellow man a responsibility which is not theirs.” IfsMenStatesAmericaFacesWinningResponsibilityAcceptingPrideAmountVictorySittingFellowsLuckDefeatSeekingEnvyRelyIdlePatriotFellow ManResoluteRely Upon Book:The Bully Pulpit: A Teddy Roosevelt Book of Quotations Source: The Bully Pulpit: A Teddy Roosevelt Book of Quotations
“I opposed the war in Iraq because I did not believe it was in our national security interest, and I still don't. What we [America] did was akin to taking a baseball bat to a beehive. Our primary security threat right now is terrorism - and by doing what we did in Iraq, we've managed to alienate a good part of the world and most of the allies whose intelligence and other help we need to combat and defeat terrorism.” WorldNeedsBelieveStillsWarHelpingAmericaInterestSecurityRight NowBaseballThreatDefeatIraqTerrorismPrimariesCombatAlliesBatsNational SecurityBeehives Author:Jerry Springer
