More quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
Only those are fit to live who do not fear to die and none are fit to die who have shrunk from the joy of life and the duty of life.
Theodore Roosevelt
In the great battle of life, no brilliancy of intellect, no perfection of bodily development, will count when weighed in the balance against the assemblage of virtues, active and passive, of moral qualities which we group together under the name of character.
Theodore Roosevelt
It is well indeed for out land that we of this generation have learned to think nationally.
Theodore Roosevelt
Even in ordinary times there are very few of us who do not see the problems of life as through a glass, darkly and when the glass is clouded by the murk of furious popular passion, the vision of the best and the bravest is dimmed.
Theodore Roosevelt

Do nothing to mar its grandeur ... keep it for your children, your children's children, and all who come after you, as the one great sight which every American should see.
Theodore Roosevelt
The vice of envy is not only a dangerous, but a mean vice for it is always a confession of inferiority. It may promote conduct which will be fruitful of wrong to others, and it must cause misery to the man who feels it.
Theodore Roosevelt
I must be wanting to be President. Every young man does. But I won't let myself think of it I must not, because if I do, I will begin to work for it I'll be careful, calculating, cautious in word and act, and so - I'll beat myself.
Theodore Roosevelt
No man is above the law and no man is below it: nor do we ask any man's permission when we ask him to obey it.
Theodore Roosevelt
Make preparations in advance ... you never have trouble if you are prepared for it.
Theodore Roosevelt
I do not believe there ever was any life more attractive to a vigorous young fellow than life on a cattle ranch in those days. It was a fine, healthy life, too it taught a man self-reliance, hardihood, and the value of instant decision...I enjoyed the life to the full.
Theodore Roosevelt
The hardest lessons to learn are those that are the most obvious.
Theodore Roosevelt
