Theodore Roosevelt
Image
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

Theodore Roosevelt
Image
If given the choice between Righteousness and Peace, I choose Righteousness.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
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
Image
In the great battle of life, no brilliancy of intellect, no perfection of bodily development, will count when weighed in the balance against the assemblage of virtues, active and passive, of moral qualities which we group together under the name of character.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
It is, of course, the merest truism to say a party is of use only so far as it serves the nation.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
No educated man can afford to be ignorant of the Bible.
Theodore Roosevelt
