Educating the body, mind, and character

Of all the work that is done for our country, the greatest that's of educating the body, the mind, and above all 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 quote means that you should take control of your own self and nobody else should interact. It’s saying that you should choose what you want to believe, do, or think. You shouldn't let anyone take control of you and tell you what to do. If you do that it may become a problem like becoming insecure of being independent and close minded.“
