More quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
The reactionary is always willing to take a progressive attitude on any issue that is dead.
Theodore Roosevelt
The only man who makes no mistakes is the man who never does anything. Do not be afraid to make mistakes providing you do not make the same one twice.
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
Absence and death are the same - only that in death there is no suffering.
Theodore Roosevelt
I must be wanting to be President. Every young man does. But I won't let myself think of it I must not, because if I do, I will begin to work for it I'll be careful, calculating, cautious in word and act, and so - I'll beat myself.
Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt
... the Armenian massacre was the greatest crime of the war, and the failure to act against Turkey is to condone it ... the failure to deal radically with the Turkish horror means that all talk of guaranteeing the future peace of the world is mischievous nonsense.
Theodore Roosevelt
Never, never, you must never either of you remind a man at work on a political job that he may be President.
Theodore Roosevelt
It is essential that there should be organization of labor. This is an era of organization. Capital organizes and therefore labor must organize.
Theodore Roosevelt
We can just as little afford to follow the doctrinaires of an extreme individualism as the doctrinaires of an extreme socialism.
Theodore Roosevelt
We do not admire a man of timid peace.
Theodore Roosevelt
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
The one being abhorrent to the powers above the earth and under them is the hyphenated American
Theodore Roosevelt
Rhetoric is a poor substitute for action.
Theodore Roosevelt
Massive potential you have and, in recognition of all this, would you mind having your salary halved.
Theodore Roosevelt
Aggressive fighting for the right is the noblest sport the world affords.
Theodore Roosevelt
