Educating the body, mind, and character

"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 in a few years are themselves to decide the destinies of the nation." - Theodore Roosevelt

What I think Theodore Roosevelt is trying to say here is that we should pay for attention to educating the body, the mind and character. If we decide to educate these three things one day it's going to pay off. We should also start teaching kids the right things so that later in life they will be all about education and being successful. If kids don't do what's right later on in life, our nation isn't going to be the way it should be. It's going to be messed up and nothing is going to go right. So right now we should focus on educating and perfecting these three things so that in the future the world is better and so our futures will be better also.
