George Wingate

“Love of peace is common among weak, short-sighted, timid, and lazy persons; and on the other hand courage is found among many men of evil temper and bad character. Neither quality shall by itself avail. Justice among the nations of mankind, and the uplifting of humanity, can be brought about only by those strong and daring men who with wisdom love peace, but who love righteousness more than peace.”
― Theodore Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt: An Autobiography

“Books are the ammunition of life.”
― Theodore Roosevelt

“Great thought speak only to the thoughtful mind ,but great actions speak to all mankind.”
― Theodore Roosevelt

“Father is strength at home, strength in government and strength overseas. Mother represents upbringing, education, the spread of civilization. Children are the lower classes, the lower races, to be brought to maturity and then set free”
