It is only the warlike power of a civilized people that can give peace to the world.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Life brings sorrows and joys alike. It is what a man does with them - not what they do to him - that is the true test of his mettle.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
At sometime in our lives a devil dwells within us, causes heartbreaks, confusion and troubles, then dies.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
There can be no greater issue than that of conservation in this country.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
There can be no life without change, and to be afraid of what is different or unfamiliar is to be afraid of life.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
The highest form of success comes to the man who does not shrink from danger, from hardship or from bitter toil, and who, out of these, wins the splendid ultimate triumph.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Knowing what's right doesn't mean much unless you do what's right.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
No man is worth his salt who is not ready at all times to risk his well-being, to risk his body, to risk his life, in a great cause.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
No ordinary work done by a man is either as hard or as responsible as the work of a woman who is bringing up a family of small children for upon her time and strength demands are made not only every hour of the day but often every hour of the night.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
There is nothing more distressing ... than the hard, scoffing spirit which treats the allegation of dishonesty in a public man as a cause for laughter. Such laughter is worse than the crackling of thorns under a pot, for it denotes not merely the vacant mind, but the heart in which high emotions have been choked before they could grow to fruition.
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
We fight in honourable fashion for the good of mankind fearless of the future, unheeding of our individual fates, with unflinching hearts and undimmed eyes we stand at Armageddon, and we battle for the Lord
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Speak softly, I'm getting my massage.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
A just war is in the long run far better for a man's soul than the most prosperous peace.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
What counts in a man or in a nation is not what the man or the nation can do, but what he or it actually does.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
I believe that the next half century will determine if we will advance the cause of Christian civilization or revert to the horrors of brutal paganism.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Over-sentimentality, over-softness, in fact washiness and mushiness are the great dangers of this age and of this people. Unless we keep the barbarian virtues, gaining the civilized ones will be of little avail.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
The wolf is the arch type of ravin, the beast of waste and desolation.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Now and then we hear the wilder voices of the wilderness, from animals that in the hours of darkness do not fear the neighborhood of man: the coyotes wail like dismal ventriloquists, or the silence may be broken by the snorting and stamping of a deer.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Men can never escape being governed. Either they must govern themselves or they must submit to being governed by others.
