“A life of slothful ease, a life of that peace which springs merely from lack either of desire or of power to strive after great things, is as little worthy of a nation as of an individual. I ask only that what every self-respecting American demands from himself and from his sons shall be demanded of the American nation as a whole.”
America is a nation of ideals that constantly tries to perfect its society by striving for excellence among its peoples. In his speech Roosevelt stresses the significance of embracing effort while working to benefit the nation and take responsibility of the conflict America faces. The strenuous life, of which he describes, is reality with all its obstacles and hindrance that we have to be prepared to overcome with great toil in order to obtain victory. Roosevelt had one message to convey to his citizens and that was for America to be a healthy nation, people had to defeat difficulties and not avoid them and let past mistakes improve present strategy to achieve success. Unlike how many values are today, Roosevelt people needed to embody not the life of ease, but effort to be accomplished.
