More quotes by Theodore Roosevelt

Image
In life, as in football, the principle to follow is to hit the line hard.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
And it is through strife and the readiness for strife that a man or a nation must win greatness. So, let the world know that we are here and willing to pour out our blood, our treasure, our tears. And that America is ready and if need be desirous of battle
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
The chief factor in any man's success or failure must be his own character.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
It is not the critic who counts...The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
To have acted otherwise ... would have been the betrayal of the interests of the United States.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
We need the iron qualities that go with true manhood. We need the positive virtues of resolution, of courage, of indomitable will, of power to do without shrinking the rough work that must always be done.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
What I am to be, I am becoming.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
I do not believe there ever was any life more attractive to a vigorous young fellow than life on a cattle ranch in those days. It was a fine, healthy life, too it taught a man self-reliance, hardihood, and the value of instant decision...I enjoyed the life to the full.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
In a civilized and cultivated country, wild animals only continue to exist at all when preserved by sportsmen.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Even in ordinary times there are very few of us who do not see the problems of life as through a glass, darkly and when the glass is clouded by the murk of furious popular passion, the vision of the best and the bravest is dimmed.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
The first requisite of a good citizen in this republic of ours is that he shall be able and willing to pull his own weight.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
The nation behaves well if it treats the natural resources as assets which it must turn over to the next generation increased and not impaired in value.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
A good Navy is not a provocation to war. It is the surest guaranty of peace.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
There is superstition in science quite as much as there is superstition in theology, and it is all the more dangerous because those suffering from it are profoundly convinced that they are freeing themselves from all superstition.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
The conservation of natural resources is the fundamental problem. Unless we solve that problem it will avail us little to solve all others.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Profanity is the parlance of the fool. Why curse when there is such a magnificent language with which to discourse?
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
We despise and abhor the bully, the brawler, the oppressor, whether in private or public life, but we despise no less the coward and the voluptuary. No man is worth calling a man who will not fight rather than submit to infamy or see those that are dear to him suffer wrong.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Freedom is not a gift which can be enjoyed save by those shown themselves worthy of it.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
The best lesson that any people can learn is that there is no patent cure-all which will make the body politic perfect, and that any man who is able glibly to answer every question as to how to deal with the evils of the body politic is at best a foolish visionary and at worst an evil-minded quack.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
We can have no '50-50' allegiance in this country. Either a man is an American and nothing else, or he is not an American at all.
