Performance should be made square with promise.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Make preparations in advance ... you never have trouble if you are prepared for it.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
What counts in a man or in a nation is not what the man or the nation can do, but what he or it actually does.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
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
The chase is among the best of all national pastimes it cultivates that vigorous manliness for the lack of which in a nation, as in an individual, the possession of no other qualities can possibly atone.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Alike for the nation and the individual, the one indispensable requisite is character.
Theodore Roosevelt

Nothing worth having comes easy.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Rattlesnakes are only too plentiful everywhere along the river bottoms, in the broken, hilly ground, and on the prairies and the great desert wastes alike...If it can it will get out of the way, and only coils up in its attitude of defence when it believes that it is actually menaced.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
I do. That is character!
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
There is but one answer to terrorism and it is best delivered with a Winchester rifle.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
The mass of the American people are most emphatically not in the deplorable condition of which you speak.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
It may be that at some time in the dim future of the race the need for war will vanish: but that time is yet ages distant. As yet no nation can hold its place in the world, or can do any work really worth doing, unless it stands ready to guard its right with an armed hand.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of today.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
The worst thing I can do is nothing.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Such an experiment without actual conditions of war to support it is a foolish waste of time. . . . I once saw a man kill a lion with a 30-30 caliber rifle under certain conditions, but that doesn't mean that a 30-30 rifle is a lion gun.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Never hit if you can help it, but when you have to, hit hard. Never hit soft. You'll never get any thanks for hitting soft.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
The most successful politician is he who says what the people are thinking most often in the loudest voice.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
In life, as in football, the principle to follow is to hit the line hard.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
What I am to be, I am becoming.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
We [must] hold the just balance and set ourselves as resolutely against improper corporate influence on the one hand as against demagogy and mob rule on the other.
Theodore Roosevelt
