More quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
I am a strong individualist by personal habit, inheritance, and conviction but it is a mere matter of common sense to recognize that the State, the community, the citizens acting together, can do a number of things better than if they were left to individual action.
Theodore Roosevelt
McKinley has no more backbone than a chocolate eclair.
Theodore Roosevelt
The hardest lessons to learn are those that are the most obvious.
Theodore Roosevelt
Is America a weakling, to shrink from the work of the great world powers? No! The young giant of the West stands on a continent and clasps the crest of an ocean in either hand. Our nation, glorious in youth and strength, looks into the future with eager eyes and rejoices as a strong man to run a race.
Theodore Roosevelt
All daring and courage, all iron endurance of misfortune-make for a finer, nobler type of manhood.
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
Great corporations exist only because they are created and safeguarded by our institutions and it is therefore our right and duty to see that they work in harmony with these institutions.
Theodore Roosevelt
Rhetoric is a poor substitute for action.
Theodore Roosevelt
Nowadays the field naturalist-who is usually at all points superior to the mere closet naturalist-follows a profession as full of hazard and interest as that of the explorer or of the big-game hunter in the remote wilderness.
Theodore Roosevelt
Perhaps there is no more important component of character than steadfast resolution.
Theodore Roosevelt
You can't choose your potential, but you can choose to fulfill it.
Theodore Roosevelt
No other President ever enjoyed the Presidency as I did.
Theodore Roosevelt
Our chief usefulness to humanity rests on our combining power with high purpose. Power undirected by high purpose spells calamity, and high purpose by itself is utterly useless if the power to put it into effect is lacking.
Theodore Roosevelt
Death is always, under all circumstances, a tragedy, for if it is not then it means that life has become one.
Theodore Roosevelt
We cannot afford to differ on the question of honesty if we expect our republic permanently to endure. Honesty is not so much a credit as an absolute prerequisite to efficient service to the public. Unless a man is honest, we have no right to keep him in public life it matters not how brilliant his capacity.
Theodore Roosevelt
The death-knell of the republic had rung as soon as the active power became lodged in the hands of those who sought, not to do justice to all citizens, rich and poor alike, but to stand for one special class and for its interests as opposed to the interests of others.
Theodore Roosevelt
It's not having been in the Dark House, but having left it that counts.
Theodore Roosevelt
We fight in honourable fashion for the good of mankind fearless of the future, unheeding of our individual fates, with unflinching hearts and undimmed eyes we stand at Armageddon, and we battle for the Lord
Theodore Roosevelt
I am only an average man but, by George, I work harder at it than the average man.
Theodore Roosevelt
It is, of course, the merest truism to say a party is of use only so far as it serves the nation.
Theodore Roosevelt
