More quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
The one being abhorrent to the powers above the earth and under them is the hyphenated American
Theodore Roosevelt
With great victory comes great sacrifice.
Theodore Roosevelt
Hardness of heart is a dreadful quality, but it is doubtful whether in the long run it works more damage than softness of head.
Theodore Roosevelt
There can be no fifty-fifty Americanism in this country. There is room here for only 100% Americanism, only for those who are Americans and nothing else
Theodore Roosevelt
'Liar' is just as ugly a word as 'thief,' because it implies the presence of just as ugly a sin in one case as in the other. If a man lies under oath or procures the lie of another under oath, if he perjures himself or suborns perjury, he is guilty under the statute law.

To have acted otherwise ... would have been the betrayal of the interests of the United States.
Theodore Roosevelt
We want the active and zealous help of every man far-sighted enough to realize the importance from the standpoint of the nation's welfare in the future of preserving the forests.
Theodore Roosevelt
The leader works in the open and the boss in covert. The leader leads, and the boss drives.
Theodore Roosevelt
No man is worth his salt who is not ready at all times to risk his well-being, to risk his body, to risk his life, in a great cause.
Theodore Roosevelt
In this country we have no place for hyphenated Americans.
Theodore Roosevelt
All daring and courage, all iron endurance of misfortune-make for a finer, nobler type of manhood.
Theodore Roosevelt
The weakling and the coward cannot be saved by honesty alone but without honesty the brave and able man is merely a civic wild beast who should be hunted down by every lover of righteousness. No man who is corrupt, no man who condones corruption in others, can possibly do his duty by the community.
Theodore Roosevelt
It's not having been in the Dark House, but having left it that counts.
Theodore Roosevelt
This country has nothing to fear from the crooked man who fails. We put him in jail. It is the crooked man who succeeds who is a threat to this country.
