Image
We can just as little afford to follow the doctrinaires of an extreme individualism as the doctrinaires of an extreme socialism.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
It may be true that he travels farthest who travels alone, but the goal thus reached is not worth reaching.
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
There is but one answer to terrorism and it is best delivered with a Winchester rifle.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
From the very beginning our people have markedly combined practical capacity for affairs with power of devotion to an ideal. The lack of either quality would have rendered the other of small value.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
In name we had the Declaration of Independence in 1776 but we gave the lie by our acts to the words of the Declaration of Independence until 1865 and words count for nothing except in so far as they represent acts.

Image
It is better to be faithful than famous.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
The weakling and the coward cannot be saved by honesty alone but without honesty the brave and able man is merely a civic wild beast who should be hunted down by every lover of righteousness. No man who is corrupt, no man who condones corruption in others, can possibly do his duty by the community.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image

Theodore Roosevelt
Image
What I am to be, I am becoming.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
The joy in life is his who has the heart to demand it.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
The performance of duty, and not an indulgence in vapid ease and vapid pleasure, is all that makes life worth while.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Nowadays the field naturalist-who is usually at all points superior to the mere closet naturalist-follows a profession as full of hazard and interest as that of the explorer or of the big-game hunter in the remote wilderness.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
It is impossible to win the great prizes of life without running risks, and the greatest of all prizes are those connected with the home.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Those who oppose all reform will do well to remember that ruin in its worst form is inevitable if our national life brings us nothing better than swollen fortunes for the few and the triumph in both politics and business of a sordid and selfish materialism.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
The joy of living is his who has the heart to demand it. Life is a great adventure, and I want to say to you, accept it in such a spirit.
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
There can be no effective control of corporations while their political activity remains.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Profanity is the parlance of the fool. Why curse when there is such a magnificent language with which to discourse?
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
I put myself in the way of things happening, and they happened.
