Theodore Roosevelt
I do. That is character!
Theodore Roosevelt

We Americans have many grave problems to solve, many threatening evils to fight, and many deeds to do, if, as we hope and believe, we have the wisdom, the strength, and the courage and the virtue to do them. But we must face facts as they are. We must neither surrender ourselves to a foolish optimism, nor succumb to a timid and ignoble pessimism.
Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt
I have already lived and enjoyed as much life as any nine other men I have known.
Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt
The Welfare of Each of Us Is Dependent Fundamentally Upon the Welfare of All of Us
Theodore Roosevelt
One of our defects as a nation is a tendency to use what have been called weasel words.
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 shirk neither. We have become a great nation, forced by the fact of its greatness into relations with other nations of the earth, and we must behave as beseems a people with such responsibilities.
Theodore Roosevelt
With a great moral issue involved, neutrality does not serve righteousness for to be neutral between right and wrong is to serve wrong.
Theodore Roosevelt
