More quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
Short-sighted men who in their greed and selfishness will, if permitted, rob our country of half its charm by their reckless extermination of all useful and beautiful wild things.
Theodore Roosevelt
We do not admire a man of timid peace.
Theodore Roosevelt
The conservation of natural resources is the fundamental problem. Unless we solve that problem it will avail us little to solve all others.
Theodore Roosevelt
Each one must do his part if we wish to show that the nation is worthy of its good fortune.
Theodore Roosevelt
The greatest privilege and greatest duty for any man is to be happily married, and no other form of success or service, for either man or woman, can be wisely accepted as a substitute or alternative
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
I shall ask you to be as quiet as possible. I don’t know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot — but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose.
Theodore Roosevelt
The only time you really live fully is from thirty to sixty. The young are slaves to dreams the old servants of regrets. Only the middle-aged have all their five senses in the keeping of their wits.
Theodore Roosevelt
To announce that there must be no criticism of the president... is morally treasonable to the American public.
Theodore Roosevelt
I do not in the least object to a sport because it is rough.
Theodore Roosevelt
With great victory comes great sacrifice.
Theodore Roosevelt
Unrestrained greed means the ruin of the great woods and the drying up of the sources of the rivers.
Theodore Roosevelt
Conservation means development as much as it does protection. A man's usefulness depends upon his living up to his ideals insofar as he can.
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
Society has no business to permit degenerates to reproduce their kind
Theodore Roosevelt
Yes, my friend, and if you will steal for me then you will steal from me.
Theodore Roosevelt
We need the iron qualities that go with true manhood. We need the positive virtues of resolution, of courage, of indomitable will, of power to do without shrinking the rough work that must always be done.
Theodore Roosevelt
Alike for the nation and the individual, the one indispensable requisite is character.
Theodore Roosevelt
What I have advocated is not wild radicalism. It is the highest and wisest kind of conservatism.
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
