PITHY SAYINGS
OF ROOSEVELT
Every Utterance Filled
with Suggestion.
A Compilation well
Worth Reading.

A healthy republican government
must rest upon individuals, not upon
classes or sections.
Far and away the best prize that
life offers is the chance to work hard
at work worth doing.
Mankind goes ahead but slowly, and
it goes ahead mainly through each of

The life of duty, not the life of mere /
ease or mere pleasure, that is the !
kind of life which makes the great

lack in any man of the qualities which 7.
must determine in the last resort the

TO me the future seems full Of hope,
because although there are many con
nicting tendencies, and although some
of these tendencies Of our present life
are for evil, yet on the whole, the ten
denotes for good are in the ascendancy.
In our own country, with its many
sided, hurrying, practical life, the
place for clustered virtue is far small
er than is the place for that essential
manliness which, without losing its
fine and lofty side, can yet hold its
own in the rough struggle with the
forces Of the world round about us.
The line OF cleavage between good
citizenship and bad citizenship sepa-
rates the rich man who docs well from
the rich man who does III, the poor
man of good conduct from the poor
