Theodore Roosevelt (Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.)(1858 – 1919) Also known as T.R. or Teddy. The 26th President and 25th Vice President of the United States. Also a leader of the Republican Party and founder of the short-lived Progressive ("Bull Moose") Party of 1912. His achievements as a naturalist, explorer, historian, hunter, author, and soldier are as much a part of his fame as any office he held as a politician. Believe you can and you're halfway there. Big jobs usually go to the men who prove their ability to outgrow small ones. Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft. It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground. The one thing I want to leave my children is an honorable name. There has never yet been a man in our history who led a life of ease whose name is worth remembering. When you play, play hard; when you work, don't play at all. |
