More quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
After the war, and until the day of his death, his position on almost every public question was either mischievous or ridiculous, and usually both.
Theodore Roosevelt
War is not merely justifiable, but imperative upon honorable men, upon an honorable nation, where peace can only be obtained by the sacrifice of conscientious conviction or of national welfare.
Theodore Roosevelt
Honesty first then courage then brains - and all are indispensable.
Theodore Roosevelt
The public must retain control of the great waterways. It is essential that any permit to obstruct them for reasons and on conditions that seem good at the moment should be subject to revision when changed conditions demand.
Theodore Roosevelt
The wolf is the arch type of ravin, the beast of waste and desolation.
Theodore Roosevelt
I like to see Quentin (Roosevelt) practicing baseball. It gives me hope that one of my boys will not take after his father in this respect, and will prove able to play the national game.
Theodore Roosevelt
No ability, no strength and force, no power of intellect or power of wealth, shall avail us, if we have not the root of right living in us.
Theodore Roosevelt
The lunatic fringe in all reform movements.
Theodore Roosevelt
Performance should be made square with promise.
Theodore Roosevelt
In this world the one thing supremely worth having is the opportunity to do well and worthily a piece of work of vital consequence to the welfare of mankind.
Theodore Roosevelt
I stand for the square deal. I mean not merely that I stand for fair play under the present rules of the game, but that I stand for having those rules changed so as to work for a more substantial equality of opportunity and of reward for equally good service.
Theodore Roosevelt
Our chief usefulness to humanity rests on our combining power with high purpose. Power undirected by high purpose spells calamity, and high purpose by itself is utterly useless if the power to put it into effect is lacking.
Theodore Roosevelt
When we undertake the impossible, we often fail to do anything at all.
Theodore Roosevelt
Character, in the long run, is the decisive factor in the life of an individual and of nations alike.
Theodore Roosevelt
Freedom from effort in the present merely means that there has been effort stored up in the past.
Theodore Roosevelt
Get action. Seize the moment. Man was never intended to become an oyster.
Theodore Roosevelt
The worst lesson that can be taught to a man is to rely upon others and to whine over his sufferings
Theodore Roosevelt
Mother went off for three days to New York and Mame and Quentin took instant advantage of her absence to fall sick. Quentin's sickness was surely due to a riot in candy and ice-cream with chocolate sauce.
Theodore Roosevelt
If we put corrupt men in public office and sneeringly acquiesce in their corruptions, then we are wrong ourselves.
Theodore Roosevelt
If elected, I shall see to it that every man has a square deal, no less and no more.
Theodore Roosevelt
