The Editors’ Quote of the Day:

James Wesley Rawles July 11, 2018 July 11, 2018

“A soft, easy life is not worth living, if it impairs the fibre of brain and heart and muscle. We must dare to be great; and we must realize that greatness is the fruit of toil and sacrifice and high courage… For us is the life of action, of strenuous performance of duty; let us live in the harness, striving mightily; let us rather run the risk of wearing out than rusting out.” – Theodore Roosevelt

Great quote. It defines the difference between AmeriCANS and so many of today’s AmeriCAN’TS.

I think the demographics may be changing soon.

  “Theodore Roosevelt the father of modern day Progressives.”
