"Never throughout history has a man who lived a life of ease left a name worth remembering." ― Theodore Roosevelt Topic(s): History More From Theodore Roosevelt "Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing." "The only time you really live fully is from thirty to sixty. The young are slaves to dreams; the old servants of regrets. Only the middle-aged have all their five senses in the keeping of their wits." "I don’t pity any man who does hard work worth doing. I admire him. I pity the creature who does not work, at whichever end of the social scale he may regard himself as being."

I would hope they would say that, and I would hope somebody liked me."― Brian Clough "The main thing is to make history, not to write it."― Otto von Bismarck
