"Of all the work that is done or that can be done for our country, the greatest is that of educating the BODY, the MIND, and above all the CHARACTER, giving spiritual and moral training to those who in a few years are themselves to decide the destinies of the nation."

-Theodore Roosevelt 

This is not only a long quote but also a quote with a big meaning behind it. This quote that was quoted by Theodore Roosevelt means that educating the body, mind, and character will make a better person. People who will decide the destiny of the nation are people that choose the right and also have a healthy body, mind, and character. This is why it's important to educate the body, mind and character. So that good people can decide the destiny of the country and not people who choose the wrong. Educating the body, mind, and character makes you a better person and someone who chooses the right. Not educating the body, mind, and character makes you the opposite of someone who chooses the right, it makes you someone who chooses the wrong. I agree with this quote. I agree because educating the body, mind and character makes a difference and it's better to have someone who has a good body, mind and character running the nation instead of someone who has a bad body,mind, and character.
