"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 are in a few years are themselves decide the destinies of the nation."-Theodore Roosevelt
I think that this statement is trying to say that the only way we can make in change in our country is by showing that we have educated our mind, our body, and our character. This means that you must have control over your actions. Your mind tells your body what to do and your body shows the character that is within you. Therefore in order to educate all you have to be able to educate one. Educate your mind so that you know what is wrong from right. Educate your body so that you don't make the wrong move. And lastly educate your character so that you show everyone that you are educated. Your body, mind and character have a lot to say about you. If you educate your mind incorrectly and say it is fine to use drugs then your bodies response will follow what your mind says. Then what your body does is intoxicate itself with drugs, therefore ruining your character because everyone who sees you is going to think you are irresponsible and have no education. On the other hand if you were to tell your mind that drugs are bad and that you need to stay away from them, your body will act differently. Your body will walk away from anyone telling you to do drugs and your character will show that you are a responsible person who is choosing the right path. Everything you do affects you in many ways. Remember your mind, body and character are all connected so educate yourself correctly.
