“Every man of sound brain whom you meet knows something worth knowing better than yourself. A man, on the whole, is a better preceptor than a book.

“On the whole, we think that the greatest victories are yet to be won, the greatest deeds yet to be done, and that there are yet in store for our peoples, and for the causes that we uphold, grander triumphs than have ever yet been scored. But be this as it may, we gladly agree that the one plain duty of every man is to face the future as he faces the present, regardless of what it may have in store for him, turning toward the light as he sees the light, to play his part manfully, as a man among men.” ThinkingMenMayDonePlayWholeLightFacesCausesDutyVictoryAgreeDeedsStoresEvery ManTriumphGreatest Victory Book:The Works of Theodore Roosevelt: American ideals and other essays, social and political Source: The Works of Theodore Roosevelt: American ideals and other essays, social and political
“Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill it teaches the whole people by example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.

“Our whole evolution has reached a stage where nearly every man is either ruler or ruled; sometimes he is both. By this the attitude of dependence has been greatly strengthened, for a truly free man does not like to play the part of either the ruler or the ruled. He is, above all, concerned with making his inner values and personal powers effective in a way as to permit him to use his own judgment in all affairs and to be independent in action.” MenWayDoeHas BeensSometimesPlayWholeUseActionValuesAttitudeStageEvolutionJudgmentConcernedIndependentAffairEvery ManPermitRulersDependenceFree ManPersonal Power Author:Rudolf Rocker
