Never throughout history has a man who lived a life of ease left a name worth remembering. Theodore Roosevelt
This world demands the qualities of youth; not a time of life but a state of mind, a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the life of ease. Robert F. Kennedy
There has never yet been a man in our history who led a life of ease whose name is worth remembering. Theodore Roosevelt
You can't call it an adventure unless it's tinged with danger. The greatest danger in life, though, is not taking the adventure at all. To have the objective of a life of ease is death. I think we've all got to go after our own Everest. Brian Blessed
All work, even cotton spinning, is noble; work is alone noble ... A life of ease is not for any man, nor for any god. Thomas Carlyle
A life of ease is a difficult pursuit. William Cowper
