More quotes by 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
Practical efficiency is common, and lofty idealism not uncommon it is the combination which is necessary, and the combination is rare
Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt
No educated man can afford to be ignorant of the Bible.

Theodore Roosevelt
The only man who makes no mistakes is the man who never does anything. Do not be afraid to make mistakes providing you do not make the same one twice.
Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt
The wolf is the arch type of ravin, the beast of waste and desolation.
Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt
The mother is the one supreme asset of national life she is more important by far than the successful statesman, or business man, or artist, or scientist.
Theodore Roosevelt
The farther one gets into the wilderness, the greater is the attraction of its lonely freedom.
Theodore Roosevelt
The pacifist is as surely a traitor to his country and to humanity as is the most brutal wrongdoer.
Theodore Roosevelt
No great intellectual thing was ever done by great effort.
Theodore Roosevelt
The lunatic fringe in all reform movements.
Theodore Roosevelt
Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.
Theodore Roosevelt
If there is not the war, you don't get the great general if there is not a great occasion, you don't get a great statesman if Lincoln had lived in a time of peace, no one would have known his name.
Theodore Roosevelt
Big jobs usually go to the men who prove their ability to outgrow small ones.
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 modern naturalist must realize that in some of its branches his profession, while more than ever a science, has also become an art.
Theodore Roosevelt
Where a trust becomes a monopoly the state has an immediate right to interfere.
Theodore Roosevelt
