Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.

No man is worth his salt who is not ready at all times to risk his well-being, to risk his body, to risk his life, in a great cause.

Never throughout history has a man who lived a life of ease left a name worth remembering.

Character, in the long run, is the decisive factor in the life of an individual and of nations alike.

There has never yet been a man in our history who led a life of ease whose name is worth remembering.
