"If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month."
"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."
"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 diffcult lives and led them well."

"Speak softly and carry a big stick."
"Courtesy is as much a mark of a gentleman as courage."
"Envy is as evil a thing as arrogance."
"A stream cannot rise larger than its source."
"It behooves every man to remember that the work of the critic is of altogether secondary importance, and that, in the end, progress is accomplished by the man who does things."
"A finer body of men has never been gathered by any nation than the men who have done the work of building the Panama Canal; the conditions under which they have lived and have done their work have been better than in any similar work ever undertaken in the tropics; they have all felt an eager pride in their work; and they have made not only America but the whole world their debtors by what they have accomplished."
