Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt
The reactionary is always willing to take a progressive attitude on any issue that is dead.

Theodore Roosevelt
I regard the Masonic institution as one of the means ordained by the Supreme Architect to enable mankind to work out the problem of destiny to fight against, and overcome, the weaknesses and imperfections of his nature, and at last to attain to that true life of which death is the herald and the grave the portal.
Theodore Roosevelt
