More quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
The man who does not think it was America's duty to fight for her own sake in view of the infamous conduct of Germany toward us stands on a level with a man who wouldn't think it necessary to fight in a private quarrel because his wife's face was slapped.
Theodore Roosevelt
Americanism is a question of spirit, of conviction and purpose, not creed or birthplaces. The test of our worth is the service we render.

Theodore Roosevelt
The nation should be ruled by the Ten Commandments.
Theodore Roosevelt
The American people abhor a vacuum.
Theodore Roosevelt
The best lesson that any people can learn is that there is no patent cure-all which will make the body politic perfect, and that any man who is able glibly to answer every question as to how to deal with the evils of the body politic is at best a foolish visionary and at worst an evil-minded quack.
Theodore Roosevelt
It is, of course, the merest truism to say a party is of use only so far as it serves the nation.
Theodore Roosevelt
Is America a weakling, to shrink from the work of the great world powers? No! The young giant of the West stands on a continent and clasps the crest of an ocean in either hand. Our nation, glorious in youth and strength, looks into the future with eager eyes and rejoices as a strong man to run a race.
Theodore Roosevelt
I do. That is character!
Theodore Roosevelt
The reason fat men are good natured is they can neither fight nor run.
