More quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
We wish peace, but we wish the peace of justice, the peace of righteousness. We wish it because we think it is right and not because we are afraid.
Theodore Roosevelt
There is no good reason why we should fear the future, but there is every reason why we should face it seriously, neither hiding from ourselves the gravity of the problems before us nor fearing to approach these problems with the unbending, unflinching purpose to solve them aright.
Theodore Roosevelt
The lack of power to take joy in outdoor nature is as real a misfortune as the lack of power to take joy in books
Theodore Roosevelt
It is impossible to win the great prizes of life without running risks, and the greatest of all prizes are those connected with the home.
Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt
Rhetoric is a poor substitute for action.

Where a trust becomes a monopoly the state has an immediate right to interfere.
Theodore Roosevelt
There is nothing more distressing ... than the hard, scoffing spirit which treats the allegation of dishonesty in a public man as a cause for laughter. Such laughter is worse than the crackling of thorns under a pot, for it denotes not merely the vacant mind, but the heart in which high emotions have been choked before they could grow to fruition.
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 stand for the square deal. I mean not merely that I stand for fair play under the present rules of the game, but that I stand for having those rules changed so as to work for a more substantial equality of opportunity and of reward for equally good service.
Theodore Roosevelt
Nothing worth having comes easy.
Theodore Roosevelt
Americans learn only from catastrophe and not from experience.
Theodore Roosevelt
An Airedale can do anything any other dog can do and then whip the other dog if he has to.
Theodore Roosevelt
Mother went off for three days to New York and Mame and Quentin took instant advantage of her absence to fall sick. Quentin's sickness was surely due to a riot in candy and ice-cream with chocolate sauce.
Theodore Roosevelt
There can be no greater issue than that of conservation in this country.
Theodore Roosevelt
All for each, and each for all, is a good motto but only on condition that each works with might and main to so maintain himself as not to be a burden to others.
Theodore Roosevelt
The American people abhor a vacuum.
Theodore Roosevelt
There are rainy days in autumn and stormy days in winter when the rocking chair in front of the fire simply demands an accompanying book.
Theodore Roosevelt
