Theodore Roosevelt
If given the choice between Righteousness and Peace, I choose Righteousness.
Theodore Roosevelt
Our surest protection against assault from abroad has been not all our guards, gates and guns, or even our two oceans, but our essential goodness as a people. Our richest asset has been not our material wealth but our values.
Theodore Roosevelt
I believe in corporations. They are indispensable instruments of our modern civilization. But I believe they should be so regulated that they shall act for the interests of the community as a whole.
Theodore Roosevelt
I am only an average man but, by George, I work harder at it than the average man.
Theodore Roosevelt
Courage is not having the strength to go on, it is going on when you don't have the strength. Industry and determination can do anything that genius and advantage can do and many things that they cannot.
Theodore Roosevelt
A leader is an average, everyday person who is highly motivated.
Theodore Roosevelt
