More quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
Only those are fit to live who do not fear to die and none are fit to die who have shrunk from the joy of life and the duty of life.
Theodore Roosevelt
A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education.
Theodore Roosevelt
Performance should be made square with promise.
Theodore Roosevelt
The leader works in the open and the boss in covert. The leader leads, and the boss drives.
Theodore Roosevelt
Women should have free access to every field of labor which they care to enter, and when their work is as valuable as that of a man it should be paid as highly.
Theodore Roosevelt
Perhaps there is no more important component of character than steadfast resolution.
Theodore Roosevelt
Massive potential you have and, in recognition of all this, would you mind having your salary halved.
Theodore Roosevelt
If we put corrupt men in public office and sneeringly acquiesce in their corruptions, then we are wrong ourselves.
Theodore Roosevelt
Is America a weakling, to shrink from the work of the great world powers? No! The young giant of the West stands on a continent and clasps the crest of an ocean in either hand. Our nation, glorious in youth and strength, looks into the future with eager eyes and rejoices as a strong man to run a race.
Theodore Roosevelt
Death is always, under all circumstances, a tragedy, for if it is not then it means that life has become one.
Theodore Roosevelt
In doing your work in the great world, it is a safe plan to follow a rule I once heard on the football field: Don't flinch, don't fall hit the line hard.
Theodore Roosevelt
Just as you believe you may have already halfway there
Theodore Roosevelt
With great victory comes great sacrifice.
Theodore Roosevelt
We Americans have many grave problems to solve, many threatening evils to fight, and many deeds to do, if, as we hope and believe, we have the wisdom, the strength, and the courage and the virtue to do them. But we must face facts as they are. We must neither surrender ourselves to a foolish optimism, nor succumb to a timid and ignoble pessimism.
Theodore Roosevelt
Men can never escape being governed. Either they must govern themselves or they must submit to being governed by others.
Theodore Roosevelt
Such an experiment without actual conditions of war to support it is a foolish waste of time. . . . I once saw a man kill a lion with a 30-30 caliber rifle under certain conditions, but that doesn't mean that a 30-30 rifle is a lion gun.
Theodore Roosevelt
Nothing worth having was ever achieved without effort.
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.
Theodore Roosevelt
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
It may be true that he travels farthest who travels alone, but the goal thus reached is not worth reaching.
Theodore Roosevelt
