More quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
I don't go so far as to think that the only good Indians are dead Indians, but I believe nine out of ten are, and I shouldn't like to inquire too closely into the case of the tenth.
Theodore Roosevelt
It is of far more important that a man shall play something himself, even if he plays it badly, than that he shall go with hundreds of companions to see someone else play well.
Theodore Roosevelt
The Welfare of Each of Us Is Dependent Fundamentally Upon the Welfare of All of Us
Theodore Roosevelt
Constructive change offers the best method for avoiding destructive change.
Theodore Roosevelt
There are good men and bad men of all nationalities, creeds and colors and if this world of ours is ever to become what we hope some day it may become, it must be by the general recognition that the man's heart and soul, the man's worth and actions, determine his standing.
Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt
We despise and abhor the bully, the brawler, the oppressor, whether in private or public life, but we despise no less the coward and the voluptuary. No man is worth calling a man who will not fight rather than submit to infamy or see those that are dear to him suffer wrong.
Theodore Roosevelt
Unrestrained greed means the ruin of the great woods and the drying up of the sources of the rivers.
Theodore Roosevelt
The great virtue of my radicalism lies in the fact that I am perfectly ready, if necessary, to be radical on the conservative side.
Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt
The settler and pioneer have at bottom had justice on their side this great continent could not have been kept as nothing but a game preserve for squalid savages.
Theodore Roosevelt
The only trouble with the movement for the preservation of our forests is that it has not gone nearly far enough, and was not begun soon enough.
Theodore Roosevelt
Never, never, you must never either of you remind a man at work on a political job that he may be President.
Theodore Roosevelt
We can have no '50-50' allegiance in this country. Either a man is an American and nothing else, or he is not an American at all.
Theodore Roosevelt
Whatever it is, handle it so that your children's children will get the benefit of it.
Theodore Roosevelt
No nation deserves to exist if it permits itself to lose the stern and virile virtues and this without regard to whether the loss is due to the growth of a heartless and all-absorbing commercialism, to prolonged indulgence in luxury and soft, effortless ease, or to the deification of a warped and twisted sentimentality.
Theodore Roosevelt
People ask the difference between a leader and a boss. The leader leads, and the boss drives.
Theodore Roosevelt
