“ In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing.” -Theodore Roosevelt

 What this is saying is that no matter at what moment you make a decision you should do the right thing. No matter what the decision is or who made the decision you should always do the right thing. Let’s say that the moment they make a decision isn’t a good moment so you don’t want to agree or vote on something so you just stay quiet but then you start thinking the moment can be a bad moment to say the truth or to say what you think is right but then you realize that it doesn’t matter because it is the right thing to do but the moment doesn’t matter because you are doing the right thing. Most people may stay quiet and not say anything at the moment because they know it’s a bad moment and they don’t want to get in trouble or maybe get judged so they just stay quiet, but you are doing the opposite you don’t care about if the moment is good or if the moment is a bad moment to say what you want to say because you are doing the right thing. It doesn’t matter when they make the decision and who makes the decision, you need to do the right thing no matter what because it is the right thing to do and you should always do the right thing.

 

" 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  

 What this is saying is that when you've done the work for this country you can show others what that work showed you.For example lets say that you do something good for your country and it took you a while for you to accomplish that work, then you finally say you are done with what you've been wanting to accomplish and people ask what what did it take for you to accomplish it or what did the work showed you. You say is it showed me how to educated my body into doing whats right and whats wrong, it taught me how think calmly on what to do and not over think many things when their not that important to over think, but out of all it showed me my character and who i really am and how i really acted it showed me how to gain dignity and how to have respect for others. Also that it is saying that you are giving spiritual and moral training to those who are going to accomplish what you've accomplished and that are going to decide the nation's destiny. You are also showing other people how to help others and be a good person, how to gain character and how to respect others.
