House Journal: Page 10: Monday, January 13, 2003
I hope you will forgive one last Roosevelt quote, but I just finished William Morris’s
second biography of the former president and I believe his values and work ethic can be
an inspiration to us all. Teddy Roosevelt was known as a President who believed in
play. He said, "play hard while you play and when you work quit playing and work."
We’ve had our chance to play over the holidays; it’s now time to go to work. May we
approach our challenges with the same courage and convictions that Roosevelt brought
to Iowa one hundred years ago. Thank you.
