Wise Words from President Theodore Roosevelt

Wise Words from President Theodore Roosevelt on personal life, national life and economic life

On this New Year, "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."

President Theodore Roosevelt, a Dutch Reformed Christian, also provided a recipe for a health nation: "A healthy state can exist only when the men and women who make it up lead clean,vigorous, healthy lives; when the children are so trained that they shall endeavor, not to shirk difficulties, but to overcome them; not to seek ease, but to know how to wrest triumph from toil and risk."

His words against welfare, which by definition includes the current health care bill and the previous stimulus bills, was simple: Commanding the re-establishment of the
8th Commandment, Roosevelt bellowed: "Do not steal."
