More quotes by 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
Americans learn only from catastrophe and not from experience.
Theodore Roosevelt
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
Don't foul, don't flinch-hit the line hard.
Theodore Roosevelt
In the Grand Canyon, Arizona has a natural wonder which is in kind absolutely unparalleled throughout the rest of the world.
Theodore Roosevelt
With a great moral issue involved, neutrality does not serve righteousness for to be neutral between right and wrong is to serve wrong.
Theodore Roosevelt
The chief factor in any man's success or failure must be his own character.
Theodore Roosevelt
Those who oppose all reform will do well to remember that ruin in its worst form is inevitable if our national life brings us nothing better than swollen fortunes for the few and the triumph in both politics and business of a sordid and selfish materialism.
Theodore Roosevelt
There is no effort without error or shortcoming.
Theodore Roosevelt
He who makes no mistakes makes no progress.
Theodore Roosevelt
Speak softly, I'm getting my massage.
Theodore Roosevelt
All daring and courage, all iron endurance of misfortune-make for a finer, nobler type of manhood.
Theodore Roosevelt
It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.
Theodore Roosevelt
The pacifist is as surely a traitor to his country and to humanity as is the most brutal wrongdoer.
Theodore Roosevelt
The only man who makes no mistakes is the man who never does anything. Do not be afraid to make mistakes providing you do not make the same one twice.
Theodore Roosevelt
Freedom means the supremacy of human rights everywhere.
Theodore Roosevelt
Men with the muckrake are often indispensable to the well-being of society, but only if they know when to stop raking the muck, and to look upward to the celestial crown above them.... If they gradually grow to feel that the whole world is nothing but muck their power of usefulness is gone.
Theodore Roosevelt
Every man, who parrots the cry of ‘stand by the President’ without adding the proviso ‘so far as he serves the Republic’ takes an attitude as essentially unmanly as that of any Stuart royalist who championed the doctrine that the King could do no wrong. No self-respecting and intelligent free man could take such an attitude.
Theodore Roosevelt
Nothing worth having was ever achieved without effort.
Theodore Roosevelt
Men with the muckrake are often indispensable to the well-being of society, but only if they know when to stop raking the muck.
