More quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
Massive potential you have and, in recognition of all this, would you mind having your salary halved.
Theodore Roosevelt
The farther one gets into the wilderness, the greater is the attraction of its lonely freedom.
Theodore Roosevelt
Envy is as evil a thing as arrogance.
Theodore Roosevelt
No President has ever enjoyed himself as much as I?
Theodore Roosevelt
Believe you can do it and you are halfway there
Theodore Roosevelt
Wars are, of course, as a rule to be avoided but they are far better than certain kinds of peace.
Theodore Roosevelt
The biggest corporation, like the humblest private citizen, must be held to strict compliance with the will of the people as expressed in the fundamental law.
Theodore Roosevelt
A healthy state can exist only when the men and women who make it up lead clean, vigorous, healthy lives when the children are so trained that they shall endeavor, not to shirk difficulties, but to overcome them not to seek ease, but to know how to wrest triumph from toil and risk.
Theodore Roosevelt
The reason fat men are good natured is they can neither fight nor run.
Theodore Roosevelt
Short-sighted men who in their greed and selfishness will, if permitted, rob our country of half its charm by their reckless extermination of all useful and beautiful wild things.
Theodore Roosevelt
Much has been given us, and much will rightfully be expected from us. We have duties to others and duties to ourselves and we can shrink neither.
Theodore Roosevelt
The eighth commandment reads, Thou shalt not steal. It does not read, Thou shalt not steal from the rich man. It does not read, Thou shalt not steal from the poor man. It reads simply and plainly, Thou shalt not steal.
Theodore Roosevelt
Now and then we hear the wilder voices of the wilderness, from animals that in the hours of darkness do not fear the neighborhood of man: the coyotes wail like dismal ventriloquists, or the silence may be broken by the snorting and stamping of a deer.
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
The woman has the right to be emancipated from the position of a drudge or a toy. She is entitled to a full equality in rights with man.
Theodore Roosevelt
The object of government is the welfare of the people. The material progress and prosperity of a nation are desirable chiefly so far as they lead to the moral and material welfare of all good citizens.
Theodore Roosevelt
Performance should be made square with promise.
Theodore Roosevelt
'Liar' is just as ugly a word as 'thief,' because it implies the presence of just as ugly a sin in one case as in the other. If a man lies under oath or procures the lie of another under oath, if he perjures himself or suborns perjury, he is guilty under the statute law.
Theodore Roosevelt
I am an American free born and free bred, where I acknowledge no man as my superior, except for his own worth, or as my inferior, except for his own demerit.
Theodore Roosevelt
The leader works in the open and the boss in covert. The leader leads, and the boss drives.
Theodore Roosevelt
