More quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
To educate a man in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society.
Theodore Roosevelt
Fertile plains, every foot of them tilled, are of the first necessity but great natural playgrounds of mountain, forest, cliff-walled lake, and brawling brook are also necessary to the full and many-sided development of a fine race.
Theodore Roosevelt
All daring and courage, all iron endurance of misfortune-make for a finer, nobler type of manhood.
Theodore Roosevelt
Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of today.
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.
Theodore Roosevelt
The most practical kind of politics is the politics of decency.
Theodore Roosevelt
Those who advocate total lack of regulation, those who advocate lawlessness in the business world, themselves give the strongest impulse to what I believe would be the deadening movement toward unadulterated state socialism.
Theodore Roosevelt
A true forest is not merely a storehouse full of wood, but, as it were, a factory of wood.
Theodore Roosevelt
The lunatic fringe in all reform movements.
Theodore Roosevelt
When I hear of the destruction of a species, I feel just as if all the works of some great writer have perished.
Theodore Roosevelt
The nation should be ruled by the Ten Commandments.
Theodore Roosevelt
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
When you are asked if you can do a job, tell 'em, 'Certainly I can!' Then get busy and find out how to do it.
Theodore Roosevelt
Comparison is the thief of joy.
Theodore Roosevelt
It is only the warlike power of a civilized people that can give peace to the world.
Theodore Roosevelt
To divide along the lines of section or caste or creed is un-American.
Theodore Roosevelt
Hardness of heart is a dreadful quality, but it is doubtful whether in the long run it works more damage than softness of head.
Theodore Roosevelt
The mother is the one supreme asset of national life she is more important by far than the successful statesman, or business man, or artist, or scientist.
Theodore Roosevelt
When you play, play hard when you work, don't play at all.
Theodore Roosevelt
There is not in all America a more dangerous trait than the deification of mere smartness unaccompanied by any sense of moral responsibility.
Theodore Roosevelt
