More quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
The American people abhor a vacuum.
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
If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month.
Theodore Roosevelt
The wild life of today is not ours to do with as we please. The original stock was given to us in trust for the benefit both of the present and the future. We must render an accounting of this trust to those who come after us.
Theodore Roosevelt
Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it, you've got to start young.
Theodore Roosevelt
It is not the critic who counts...The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena.
Theodore Roosevelt
Nowadays the field naturalist-who is usually at all points superior to the mere closet naturalist-follows a profession as full of hazard and interest as that of the explorer or of the big-game hunter in the remote wilderness.
Theodore Roosevelt
I don't think any President ever enjoyed himself more than I did. Moreover, I don't think any ex-President ever enjoyed himself more.
Theodore Roosevelt
I like to see Quentin (Roosevelt) practicing baseball. It gives me hope that one of my boys will not take after his father in this respect, and will prove able to play the national game.
Theodore Roosevelt
I was a reasonably good student in college ... My chief interests were scientific. When I entered college, I was devoted to out-of-doors natural history, and my ambition was to be a scientific man of the Audubon, or Wilson, or Baird, or Coues type-a man like Hart Merriam, or Frank Chapman, or Hornaday, to-day.
Theodore Roosevelt
The one characteristic more essential than any other is foresight... It should be the growing nation with a future which takes the long look ahead.
Theodore Roosevelt
Make preparations in advance ... you never have trouble if you are prepared for it.
Theodore Roosevelt
Bodily vigor is good, and vigor of intellect is even better, but far above is character.
Theodore Roosevelt
Don't foul, don't flinch-hit the line hard.
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
If we lose the virile, manly qualities, and sink into a nation of mere hucksters, putting gain over national honor, and subordinating everything to mere ease of life, then we shall indeed reach a condition worse than that of the ancient civilizations in the years of their decay.
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
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
Almost every man who has by his life-work added to the sum of human achievement of which the race is proud, of which our people are proud, almost every such man has based his life-work largely upon the teachings of the Bible
Theodore Roosevelt
Wars are, of course, as a rule to be avoided but they are far better than certain kinds of peace.
Theodore Roosevelt
