More quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
I have had a great time as president.
Theodore Roosevelt
We fight in honourable fashion for the good of mankind fearless of the future, unheeding of our individual fates, with unflinching hearts and undimmed eyes we stand at Armageddon, and we battle for the Lord
Theodore Roosevelt
There can be no effective control of corporations while their political activity remains.
Theodore Roosevelt
No man is above the law and no man is below it: nor do we ask any man's permission when we ask him to obey it.
Theodore Roosevelt
Every reform movement has a lunatic fringe.
Theodore Roosevelt
Just as you believe you may have already halfway there
Theodore Roosevelt
The mass of the American people are most emphatically not in the deplorable condition of which you speak.
Theodore Roosevelt
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
It's not the critic who counts.
Theodore Roosevelt
Freedom is not a gift which can be enjoyed save by those shown themselves worthy of it.
Theodore Roosevelt
No ordinary work done by a man is either as hard or as responsible as the work of a woman who is bringing up a family of small children for upon her time and strength demands are made not only every hour of the day but often every hour of the night.
Theodore Roosevelt
[Among the books he chooses, a statesman] ought to read interesting books on history and government, and books of science and philosophy and really good books on these subjects are as enthralling as any fiction ever written in prose or verse.
Theodore Roosevelt
Some men can live up to their loftiest ideals without ever going higher than a basement.
Theodore Roosevelt
A really great people, proud and high spirited, would face all the disasters of war rather than purchase that base prosperity which is bought at the price of national honor.
Theodore Roosevelt
A President has a great chance his position is almost that of a king and a prime minister rolled into one.
Theodore Roosevelt
If we lose the virile, manly qualities, and sink into a nation of mere hucksters, putting gain over national honor, and subordinating everything to mere ease of life, then we shall indeed reach a condition worse than that of the ancient civilizations in the years of their decay.
Theodore Roosevelt
Any political movement directed against any body of our fellow-citizens because of their religious creed is a grave offense against American principles and American institutions. It is a wicked thing either to support or oppose a man because of the creed he possesses. . . . Such a movement directly contravenes the spirit of the Constitution itself.
Theodore Roosevelt
Unrestrained greed means the ruin of the great woods and the drying up of the sources of the rivers.
Theodore Roosevelt
It is of far more important that a man shall play something himself, even if he plays it badly, than that he shall go with hundreds of companions to see someone else play well.
Theodore Roosevelt
I feel as fit as a bull moose.
Theodore Roosevelt
