Alone of human beings the good and wise mother stands on a plane of equal honor with the bravest soldier for she has gladly gone down to the brink of the chasm of darkness to bring back the children in whose hands rests the future of the years.
Theodore Roosevelt
For us is the life of action, of strenuous performance of duty let us live in the harness, striving mightily let us rather run the risk of wearing out than rusting out.
Theodore Roosevelt
Character is far more important than intellect in making a man a good citizen or successful at his calling- meaning by character not only such qualities as honesty and truthfulness, but courage, perseverance and self-reliance.
Theodore Roosevelt
The only man who never makes a mistake is the man who never does anything.
Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt
When we control business in the public interest we are also bound to encourage it in the public interest or it will be a bad thing for everybody and worst of all for those on whose behalf the control is nominally exercised.
Theodore Roosevelt
It tires me to talk to rich men. You expect a man of millions, the head of a great industry, to be a man worthhearing but as a rule they don't know anything outside their own business.
Theodore Roosevelt
Our surest protection against assault from abroad has been not all our guards, gates and guns, or even our two oceans, but our essential goodness as a people. Our richest asset has been not our material wealth but our values.
Theodore Roosevelt
The most ultimately righteous of all wars is a war with savages.
Theodore Roosevelt
The light has gone out of my life.
Theodore Roosevelt
There is a delight in the hardy life of the open.
Theodore Roosevelt
He [Lincoln] had mastered it {the Bible] absolutely...mastered it so that he became almost 'a man of one Book', who knew that Book and who instinctively put into practice what he had been taught therein.
Theodore Roosevelt
