Theodore Roosevelt
I am only an average man but, by George, I work harder at it than the average man.
Theodore Roosevelt
There never has been devised, and there never will be devised, any law which will enable a man to succeed save by the exercise of those qualities which have always been the prerequisites of success - the qualities of hard work, of keen intelligence, of unflinching will.
Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt
