More quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
I wish to preach, not the doctrine of ignoble ease, but the doctrine of the strenuous life.
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
Under government ownership corruption can flourish just as rankly as under private ownership.
Theodore Roosevelt
I am a strong individualist by personal habit, inheritance, and conviction but it is a mere matter of common sense to recognize that the State, the community, the citizens acting together, can do a number of things better than if they were left to individual action.
Theodore Roosevelt
Just as you believe you may have already halfway there
Theodore Roosevelt
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena whose face is marred with dust and sweat who strives valiantly who errs and may fall again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming.
Theodore Roosevelt
The object of government is the welfare of the people. The material progress and prosperity of a nation are desirable chiefly so far as they lead to the moral and material welfare of all good citizens.
Theodore Roosevelt
The joy in life is his who has the heart to demand it.
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
I don't pity any man who does hard work worth doing. I admire him. I pity the creature who does not work, at whichever end of the social scale he may regard himself as being.
Theodore Roosevelt
No great intellectual thing was ever done by great effort.
Theodore Roosevelt
The object of government is the welfare of the people.
Theodore Roosevelt
Materially we must strive to secure a broader economic opportunity for all men, so that each shall have a better chance to show the stuff of which he is made.
Theodore Roosevelt
No man can do both effective and decent work in public life unless he is a practical politician on the one hand, and a sturdy believer in Sunday-school politics on the other. He must always strive manfully for the best, and yet, like Abraham Lincoln, must often resign himself to accept the best possible.
Theodore Roosevelt
I do not in the least object to a sport because it is rough.
Theodore Roosevelt
Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it, you've got to start young.
Theodore Roosevelt
A healthy state can exist only when the men and women who make it up lead clean, vigorous, healthy lives when the children are so trained that they shall endeavor, not to shirk difficulties, but to overcome them not to seek ease, but to know how to wrest triumph from toil and risk.
Theodore Roosevelt
It's not the critic who counts.
Theodore Roosevelt
Knowing what's right doesn't mean much unless you do what's right.
Theodore Roosevelt
Believe you can do it and you are halfway there
Theodore Roosevelt
