Theodore Roosevelt
For those who fight for it life has a flavor the sheltered will never know
Theodore Roosevelt
The American people abhor a vacuum.
Theodore Roosevelt
The man who really counts in the world is the doer, not the mere critic -- the man who actually does the work, even if roughly and imperfectly, not the man who only talks or writes about how it ought to be done.

Men can never escape being governed. Either they must govern themselves or they must submit to being governed by others.
Theodore Roosevelt
I have now run up against an ugly snag, the Sunday Excise Law. It is altogether too strict, but I have no honorable alternative save to enforce it and I am enforcing it, to the furious rage of the saloon keepers, and of many good people too for which I am sorry.
Theodore Roosevelt
Every reform movement has a lunatic fringe.
Theodore Roosevelt
