Theodore Roosevelt
A grove of giant redwood or sequoias should be kept just as we keep a great and beautiful cathedral.
Theodore Roosevelt
No educated man can afford to be ignorant of the Bible.
Theodore Roosevelt
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
To announce that there must be no criticism of the president... is morally treasonable to the American public.
Theodore Roosevelt
The most ultimately righteous of all wars is a war with savages.
Theodore Roosevelt
The first duty of an American citizen, then, is that he shall work in politics.
