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
Image
A true forest is not merely a storehouse full of wood, but, as it were, a factory of wood.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
There is no good reason why we should fear the future, but there is every reason why we should face it seriously, neither hiding from ourselves the gravity of the problems before us nor fearing to approach these problems with the unbending, unflinching purpose to solve them aright.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
To educate a man in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
There is no effort without error or shortcoming.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
The great virtue of my radicalism lies in the fact that I am perfectly ready, if necessary, to be radical on the conservative side.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
If elected, I shall see to it that every man has a square deal, no less and no more.
Theodore Roosevelt

The one being abhorrent to the powers above the earth and under them is the hyphenated American
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
The one characteristic more essential than any other is foresight... It should be the growing nation with a future which takes the long look ahead.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
What I have advocated is not wild radicalism. It is the highest and wisest kind of conservatism.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Conservation means development as much as it does protection. A man's usefulness depends upon his living up to his ideals insofar as he can.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Americanism is a question of spirit, of conviction and purpose, not creed or birthplaces. The test of our worth is the service we render.

The White House is a bully pulpit.
