More quotes by Theodore Roosevelt

Image
Character is far more important than intellect in making a man a good citizen or successful at his calling- meaning by character not only such qualities as honesty and truthfulness, but courage, perseverance and self-reliance.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Don't foul, don't flinch-hit the line hard.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Get action. Seize the moment. Man was never intended to become an oyster.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Great thoughts speak only to the thoughtful mind, but great actions speak to all mankind.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
We despise and abhor the bully, the brawler, the oppressor, whether in private or public life, but we despise no less the coward and the voluptuary. No man is worth calling a man who will not fight rather than submit to infamy or see those that are dear to him suffer wrong.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
To permit every lawless capitalist, every law-defying corporation, to take any action, no matter how iniquitous, in the effort to secure an improper profit and to build up privilege, would be ruinous to the Republic and would mark the abandonment of the effort to secure in the industrial world the spirit of democratic fair dealing.
Theodore Roosevelt

Aggressive fighting for the right is the noblest sport the world affords.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image

Theodore Roosevelt
Image
The lack of power to take joy in outdoor nature is as real a misfortune as the lack of power to take joy in books
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Our duty to the whole, including the unborn generations, bids us to restrain an unprincipled present-day minority from wasting the heritage of these unborn generations. The movement for the conservation of wildlife and the larger movement for the conservation of all our natural resources are essentially democratic in spirit, purpose, and method.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
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
Image
Let us speak courteously, deal fairly, and keep ourselves armed and ready.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
No ability, no strength and force, no power of intellect or power of wealth, shall avail us, if we have not the root of right living in us.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Thank God for the iron in the blood of our fathers
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Women should have free access to every field of labor which they care to enter, and when their work is as valuable as that of a man it should be paid as highly.
Theodore Roosevelt

Nine tenths of wisdom consists in being wise in time.

I am a part of everything that I have read.

It is a wicked thing to be neutral between right and wrong.

Let us rather run the risk of wearing out than rusting out.

The first duty of an American citizen, then, is that he shall work in politics.
