Roosevelt, Theodore

"There is only one quality worse than hardness of heart and that is softness of head."

"The best executive is the one who has sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done, and self-restraint enough to keep from meddling with them while they do it."

"The most important single ingredient in the formula of success is knowing how to get along with people."

"The only man who never makes a mistake is the man who never does anything."

"To educate a man in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society."

"A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car, but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad."

"The unforgivable crime is soft hitting. Do not hit at all if it can be avoided; but never hit softly."

"No man is above the law and no man is below it: nor do we ask any man's permission when we ask him to obey it."
