More quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
No nation deserves to exist if it permits itself to lose the stern and virile virtues and this without regard to whether the loss is due to the growth of a heartless and all-absorbing commercialism, to prolonged indulgence in luxury and soft, effortless ease, or to the deification of a warped and twisted sentimentality.
Theodore Roosevelt
The extermination of the buffalo has been a veritable tragedy of the animal world.
Theodore Roosevelt
Wars are, of course, as a rule to be avoided but they are far better than certain kinds of peace.
Theodore Roosevelt
No man can be a good citizen unless he has a wage more than sufficient to cover the bare cost of living, and hours of labor short enough so after his day's work is done he will have time and energy to bear his share in the management of the community, to help in carrying the general load.
Theodore Roosevelt
The boy who is going to make a great man must not make up his mind merely to overcome a thousand obstacles, but to win in spite of a thousand repulses and defeats.
Theodore Roosevelt
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
The greatest historian should also be a great moralist. It is no proof of impartiality to treat wickedness and goodness on the same level.
Theodore Roosevelt
If given the choice between Righteousness and Peace, I choose Righteousness.
Theodore Roosevelt
Power always brings with it responsibility.
Theodore Roosevelt
Gradually the true Mason gains experience in using these working tools and can observe subtler and subtler indications of personal flaws.
Theodore Roosevelt
The reactionary is always willing to take a progressive attitude on any issue that is dead.
Theodore Roosevelt
The performance of duty, and not an indulgence in vapid ease and vapid pleasure, is all that makes life worth while.
Theodore Roosevelt
Almost every man who has by his life-work added to the sum of human achievement of which the race is proud, of which our people are proud, almost every such man has based his life-work largely upon the teachings of the Bible
Theodore Roosevelt
A true forest is not merely a storehouse full of wood, but, as it were, a factory of wood.
Theodore Roosevelt
There is a delight in the hardy life of the open.
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
I am only an average man but, by George, I work harder at it than the average man.
Theodore Roosevelt
We should not forget that it will be just as important to our descendants to be prosperous in their time as it is to us to be prosperous in our time.
Theodore Roosevelt
It is a great mistake to think that the extremist is a better man than the moderate. Usually the difference is not that he is morally stronger, but that he is intellectually weaker. He is not more virtuous. He is simply more foolish.
Theodore Roosevelt
Absence and death are the same - only that in death there is no suffering.
Theodore Roosevelt
