Words we should learn from

“If an American is to amount to anything he must rely upon himself, and not upon the State; he must take pride in his own work, instead of sitting idle to envy the luck of others. He must face life with resolute courage, win victory if he can, and accept defeat if he must, without seeking to place on his fellow man a responsibility which is not theirs.” - Theodore Roosevelt
I wish this is what Americans still believed...things would be a lot better off.

Too bad his cousin didn't adopt the same policies... much of what we see today goes back to the New Deal days.
