More quotes by 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
Rhetoric is a poor substitute for action.
Theodore Roosevelt
We do not admire a man of timid peace.
Theodore Roosevelt
When you are asked if you can do a job, tell 'em, 'Certainly I can!' Then get busy and find out how to do it.
Theodore Roosevelt
Work hard at work worth doing.
Theodore Roosevelt
Those who oppose all reform will do well to remember that ruin in its worst form is inevitable if our national life brings us nothing better than swollen fortunes for the few and the triumph in both politics and business of a sordid and selfish materialism.
Theodore Roosevelt
There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all.
Theodore Roosevelt
Much has been given us, and much will rightfully be expected from us. We have duties to others and duties to ourselves and we can shirk neither. We have become a great nation, forced by the fact of its greatness into relations with other nations of the earth, and we must behave as beseems a people with such responsibilities.
Theodore Roosevelt
I hold it to be our duty to see that the wage-worker, the small producer, the ordinary consumer, shall get their fair share of business prosperity. But it either is or ought to be evident to everyone that business has to prosper before anybody can get any benefit from it.
Theodore Roosevelt
A true forest is not merely a storehouse full of wood, but, as it were, a factory of wood.
Theodore Roosevelt
To announce there must be no criticism of the president or that we are to stand with the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.
Theodore Roosevelt
It's not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of the deeds could have done better.
Theodore Roosevelt
We shall make mistakes and if we let these mistakes frighten us from our work we shall show ourselves weaklings.
Theodore Roosevelt
At sometime in our lives a devil dwells within us, causes heartbreaks, confusion and troubles, then dies.
Theodore Roosevelt
The chief factor in any man's success or failure must be his own character.
Theodore Roosevelt
Big jobs usually go to the men who prove their ability to outgrow small ones.
Theodore Roosevelt
The object of government is the welfare of the people.
Theodore Roosevelt
The country is the place for children, and if not the country, a city small enough so that one can get out into the country.
Theodore Roosevelt
It's not the critic who counts.
Theodore Roosevelt
The settler and pioneer have at bottom had justice on their side this great continent could not have been kept as nothing but a game preserve for squalid savages.
Theodore Roosevelt
