McKinley has no more backbone than a chocolate eclair.
Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Never hit if you can help it, but when you have to, hit hard. Never hit soft. You'll never get any thanks for hitting soft.

Theodore Roosevelt

The great man is always the man of mighty effort.
Theodore Roosevelt

Performance should be made square with promise.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
No man can be a good citizen unless he has a wage more than sufficient to cover the bare cost of living, and hours of labor short enough so after his day's work is done he will have time and energy to bear his share in the management of the community, to help in carrying the general load.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
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
Image
I do not believe there was ever a life more attractive than life on a cattle farm.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
There can be no fifty-fifty Americanism in this country. There is room here for only 100% Americanism, only for those who are Americans and nothing else

A grove of giant redwood or sequoias should be kept just as we keep a great and beautiful cathedral.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
There are dreadful moments when death comes very near those we love, even if for the time being it passes by. But life is a great adventure, and the worst of all fears is the fear of living.
Theodore Roosevelt
