From the greatest to the smallest, happiness and usefulness are largely found in the same soul, and the joy of life is won in its deepest and truest sense only by those who have not shirked life's burdens. The men whom we most delight to honor in all this land are those who did not choose the easy tasks, who did not shirk the difficult duty. Deliberately and of their own free will they strove for an ideal, upward and onward across the stony slopes of greatness. And because they did this they have won such proud joy as it has fallen to the lot of no other men to win. and have written their names forevermore on the golden honor roll of the nation—President Roosevelt.
