This country has nothing to fear from the crooked man who fails. We put him in jail. It is the crooked man who succeeds who is a threat to this country.
Theodore Roosevelt
Absence and death are the same - only that in death there is no suffering.

Theodore Roosevelt
Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.
Theodore Roosevelt
