More quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
Men with the muckrake are often indispensable to the well-being of society, but only if they know when to stop raking the muck.
Theodore Roosevelt
It is not the critic who counts...The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena.
Theodore Roosevelt
When I say I believe in a square deal i do not mean to give every man the best hand. If the cards do not come to any man, or if they do come, and he has not got the power to play them, that is his affair. All I mean is that there shall be no crookedness in the dealing.
Theodore Roosevelt
For unflagging interest and enjoyment, a household of children, if things go reasonably well, certainly all other forms of success and achievement lose their importance by comparison.
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

Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt
In doing your work in the great world, it is a safe plan to follow a rule I once heard on the football field: Don't flinch, don't fall hit the line hard.
Theodore Roosevelt
Knowing what's right doesn't mean much unless you do what's right.
Theodore Roosevelt
The death-knell of the republic had rung as soon as the active power became lodged in the hands of those who sought, not to do justice to all citizens, rich and poor alike, but to stand for one special class and for its interests as opposed to the interests of others.
Theodore Roosevelt
No man can lead a public career really worth leading, no man can act with rugged independence in serious crises, nor strike at great abuses, nor afford to make powerful and unscrupulous foes, if he is himself vulnerable in his private character.
Theodore Roosevelt
I have often been afraid, but I would not give in to it. I made myself act as though I was not afraid and gradually my fear disappeared.
Theodore Roosevelt
Laws are essential emanations from the self-poised character of God they radiate from the sun to the circling edge of creation. Verily, the mighty Lawgiver hath subjected himself unto laws.
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
The man of great wealth owes a peculiar obligation to the state because he derives special advantages from the mere existence of government.
Theodore Roosevelt
I'm as strong as a bull moose and you can use me to the limit.
Theodore Roosevelt
Then get busy and find out how to do it.
Theodore Roosevelt
This broken country extends back from the river for many miles and has been called always be Indian, French voyager and American trappers alike, the Bad Lands.
Theodore Roosevelt
