I am simply unable to understand the value placed by so many people upon great wealth (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes)
If we are to be really great people, we must strive in good faith to play a great part in the world. We cannot avoid meeting great issues. All that we can determine for ourselves is whether we shall meet them well or ill (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes)

I never keep boys waiting. It’s a hard trial for a boy to wait (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes)
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 Quotes)
