More quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
Show me a man who makes no mistakes, and I will show you a man who doesn't do things.
Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt
The spirit of brotherhood recognizes of necessity both the need of self-help and also the need of helping others in the only way which every ultimately does great god, that is, of helping them to help themselves.
Theodore Roosevelt
I always keep my weather eye on the opposition of my seventh house Moon to my first house Mars.
Theodore Roosevelt
No man is justified in doing evil on the ground of expedience.
Theodore Roosevelt
I regard the Masonic institution as one of the means ordained by the Supreme Architect to enable mankind to work out the problem of destiny to fight against, and overcome, the weaknesses and imperfections of his nature, and at last to attain to that true life of which death is the herald and the grave the portal.
Theodore Roosevelt
The farmer is a poor creature who skins the land and leaves it worthless to his children. The farmer is a good farmer who, having enabled the land to support himself and to provide for the education of his children, leaves it to them a little better than he found it himself.
Theodore Roosevelt
Get action. Seize the moment. Man was never intended to become an oyster.
Theodore Roosevelt
