A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

The man who does nothing cuts the same sordid figure in the pages of history, whether he be cynic, or fop, or voluptuary. There is little use for the being whose tepid soul knows nothing of the great and generous emotion, of the high pride, the stern belief, the lofty enthusiasm, of the men who quell the storm and ride the thunder.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)
Speech (1910-04-23), “Citizenship in a Republic [The Man in the Arena],” Sorbonne, Paris

« Lisez les oeuvres des grands maîtres de la vie, essayez de saisir le sens profond de leurs paroles, forgez-vous une conviction sur le sens que vous voulez donner à votre vie, n'ayez pas la naïveté de croire que vous pouvez vous dispenser de maîtres, de guides et de modèles (...). »
– Erich Fromm, L'art d'être, Paris : Desclée de Bouwer, 2000, p. 29
