“A soft, easy life is not worth living, if it impairs the fibre of brain and heart and muscle. We must dare to be great; and we must realize that greatness is the fruit of toil and sacrifice and high courage... For us is the life of action, of strenuous performance of duty; let us live in the harness, striving mightily; let us rather run the risk of wearing out than rusting out.” IfsHeartRunningActionLife IsEasyRealizingBrainRiskSacrificeGreatnessDutyPerformancesFruitStriveDareMusclesToilWorth LivingHarnessTeddyEasy LifeHeart And BrainLife Is Not Worth LivingLeadership CourageDare To Be Great Book:The Works of Theodore Roosevelt Source: The Works of Theodore Roosevelt

“The future is always fairyland to the young. Life is like a beautiful and winding lane, on either side bright flowers, and beautiful butterflies and tempting fruits, which we scarcely pause to admire and to taste, so eager are we to hasten to an opening which we imagine will be more beautiful still. But by degrees, as we advance, the trees grow bleak; the flowers and butterflies fail, the fruits disappear, and we find we have arrived--to reach a desert waste.” StillsBeautifulYoungLife IsGrowsSidesImagineFailingTreeFlowerTasteFutureDegreesWasteFruitDisappearAdmireOpeningDesertButterflyPausesLife Is LikeLanesBleakTemptingYoung LifeBeautiful Butterfly Author:George Augustus Henry Sala
“Life is a thing of many stages and moving parts. What we do with ease at one time of life we can hardly manage at another. What we could not fathom doing when we were young, we find great joy in when we are old. Like the seasons through which we move, life itself is a never-ending series of harvests, a different fruit for every time.” DifferentMovingYoungLife IsJoyStageSeasonsSeriesFruitManageEaseOne TimeHarvestNever EndingFathomGreat JoyMoving Parts Author:Joan D.
