More and more, as it becomes necessary to preserve the game, let us hope that the camera will largely supplant the rifle.
use-it-or-lose-it way nations
It is not what we have that will make us a great nation; it is the way in which we use it.
responsibility america moral
There is not in all America a more dangerous trait than the deification of mere smartness unaccompanied by any sense of moral responsibility.

A great democracy must be progressive or it will soon cease to be a great democracy.
hard-work men two
There are two things that I want you to make up your minds to: first, that you are going to have a good time as long as you live - I have no use for the sour-faced man - and next, that you are going to do something worthwhile, that you are going to work hard and do the things you set out to do.
running strong ocean
Is America a weakling, to shrink from the work of the great world powers? No! The young giant of the West stands on a continent and clasps the crest of an ocean in either hand. Our nation, glorious in youth and strength, looks into the future with eager eyes and rejoices as a strong man to run a race.

perseverance winning men
There are two kinds of success. One is the rare kind that comes to the person who has the power to do what no one else has the power to do. That is genius. But the average person who wins what we call success is not a genius. That person is a man or woman who has merely the ordinary qualities that they share with their fellows, but has developed those ordinary qualities to a more than ordinary degree.

I do not believe that any man can adequately appreciate the world of to-day unless he has some knowledge of -- a little more than a slight knowledge, some feeling for and of -- the history of the world of the past.

While my interest in natural history has added very little to my sum of achievement, it has added immeasurably to my sum of enjoyment in life.
running heart sacrifice
A soft, easy life is not worth living, if it impairs the fibre of brain and heart and muscle. We must dare to be great; and we must realize that greatness is the fruit of toil and sacrifice and high courage... For us is the life of action, of strenuous performance of duty; let us live in the harness, striving mightily; let us rather run the risk of wearing out than rusting out.
