More quotes by Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt
Envy is as evil a thing as arrogance.
Theodore Roosevelt
With great victory comes great sacrifice.
Theodore Roosevelt
Comparison is the thief of joy.

Theodore Roosevelt
Our duty to the whole, including the unborn generations, bids us to restrain an unprincipled present-day minority from wasting the heritage of these unborn generations.

Theodore Roosevelt
I wish to preach, not the doctrine of ignoble ease, but the doctrine of the strenuous life.
Theodore Roosevelt
It is the people, and not the judges, who are entitled to say what their constitution means, for the constitution is theirs, it belongs to them and not to their servants in office—any other theory is incompatible with the foundation principles of our government.
Theodore Roosevelt
Give the brethren a chance to do something, anything, no matter how small or unimportant. A brother convinced that he is helpful is enthusiastic.
Theodore Roosevelt
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena..who errs, who comes short again and again but who does actually strive to do the deeds who spends himself in a worthy cause.
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 don't pity any man who does hard work worth doing. I admire him. I pity the creature who does not work, at whichever end of the social scale he may regard himself as being.
Theodore Roosevelt
