“Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty… I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well.”

Theodore Roosevelt

Simplified Meaning:

The best things in life need hard work and can be tough. Easy things are not really valuable. I admire people who face challenges and handle them well, not those who live without any problems.
