The worst of all fears is the fear of living.
Theodore Roosevelt wrote this in his Autobiography (1913), in a chapter about home and family. The full sentence: "But life is a great adventure, and the worst of all fears is the fear of living." Just before it he admits that no father and mother can hope to escape sorrow and anxiety. He'd known both. His point is that the great prizes of life can't be won without risk, and a man who plays it safe to avoid every loss ends up losing the life itself.
This version shows a lit doorway at the end of a dark path, with Roosevelt's name beneath.
For men who refuse a small life: the ones who take the job, start the family, make the move. It sits in our Bull Moose collection with the rest of Roosevelt's lines, and it's a natural memento mori reminder too.
