Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt
McKinley has no more backbone than a chocolate eclair.
Theodore Roosevelt
The farmer is a poor creature who skins the land and leaves it worthless to his children. The farmer is a good farmer who, having enabled the land to support himself and to provide for the education of his children, leaves it to them a little better than he found it himself.
Theodore Roosevelt
The name Roosevelt has this legendary force in our country at this time.
Theodore Roosevelt
No ordinary work done by a man is either as hard or as responsible as the work of a woman who is bringing up a family of small children for upon her time and strength demands are made not only every hour of the day but often every hour of the night.
Theodore Roosevelt
In a civilized and cultivated country, wild animals only continue to exist at all when preserved by sportsmen.
Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt
