I Choose Not To Be a Common Man by Theodore Roosevelt

It’s my choice to be uncommon if I can
I’ll seek opportunity not security
I do not wish to be a kept citizen humbled
And dulled by having the state look after me
I want to take the calculated risk to dream
And to build, to fail and to succeed
I’ll refuse to live from hand to mouth
I’ll prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence
The thrill of fulfillment to the calm of utopia
I will never cower before any master
Nor bend to any friend
It is my heritage to stand erect, proud
And unafraid, to think and act for myself
And face the world boldly and say
This I have done by the help of God.
-Theodore Roosevelt
