More quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
We are face to face with our destiny and we must meet it with a high and resolute courage.
Theodore Roosevelt
Where a trust becomes a monopoly the state has an immediate right to interfere.
Theodore Roosevelt
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
I always keep my weather eye on the opposition of my seventh house Moon to my first house Mars.
Theodore Roosevelt
When you play, play hard when you work, don't play at all.
Theodore Roosevelt
If we lose the virile, manly qualities, and sink into a nation of mere hucksters, putting gain over national honor, and subordinating everything to mere ease of life, then we shall indeed reach a condition worse than that of the ancient civilizations in the years of their decay.
Theodore Roosevelt
If elected, I shall see to it that every man has a square deal, no less and no more.
Theodore Roosevelt
Materially we must strive to secure a broader economic opportunity for all men, so that each shall have a better chance to show the stuff of which he is made.
Theodore Roosevelt
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
The only tyrannies from which men, women and children are suffering in real life are the tyrannies of minorities.
Theodore Roosevelt
... the Armenian massacre was the greatest crime of the war, and the failure to act against Turkey is to condone it ... the failure to deal radically with the Turkish horror means that all talk of guaranteeing the future peace of the world is mischievous nonsense.
Theodore Roosevelt
No President has ever enjoyed himself as much as I?
Theodore Roosevelt
Every man, who parrots the cry of ‘stand by the President’ without adding the proviso ‘so far as he serves the Republic’ takes an attitude as essentially unmanly as that of any Stuart royalist who championed the doctrine that the King could do no wrong. No self-respecting and intelligent free man could take such an attitude.
Theodore Roosevelt
We [must] hold the just balance and set ourselves as resolutely against improper corporate influence on the one hand as against demagogy and mob rule on the other.
Theodore Roosevelt
Wide differences of opinion in matters of religious, political, and social belief must exist if conscience and intellect alike are not to be stunted, if there is to be room for healthy growth.
Theodore Roosevelt
Americanism is a question of principle, of idealism, of character. It is not a matter of birthplace, or creed, or line of descent.
Theodore Roosevelt
There is but one answer to terrorism and it is best delivered with a Winchester rifle.
Theodore Roosevelt
The chase is among the best of all national pastimes it cultivates that vigorous manliness for the lack of which in a nation, as in an individual, the possession of no other qualities can possibly atone.
Theodore Roosevelt
The only man who never makes a mistake is the man who never does anything.
Theodore Roosevelt
Almost every man who has by his life-work added to the sum of human achievement of which the race is proud, of which our people are proud, almost every such man has based his life-work largely upon the teachings of the Bible
Theodore Roosevelt
