More from Teddy Roosevelt
We are bound in honor to strive to bring ever nearer the day when, as far as is humanly possible, we shall be able to realize the ideal that each man shall have an equal opportunity to show the stuff that is in him by the way in which he renders service.
I care for the great deeds of the past chiefly as spurs to drive us onward in the present.
