Every immigrant who comes here should be required within five years to learn English or leave the country. - Theodore Roosevelt

To educate a person without teaching ethics is to create a menace to society.

Whether there are more people in the world or less, whether they are fat or lean, whether there are Fords or oxen, makes no vital difference; but whether men shall be willing to die for what they believe in makes all the difference between a pigsty and Paradise. Not by bread alone, Henry, shall men live.

Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty… I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well.
