More quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
Laws are essential emanations from the self-poised character of God they radiate from the sun to the circling edge of creation. Verily, the mighty Lawgiver hath subjected himself unto laws.
Theodore Roosevelt
There can be no fifty-fifty Americanism in this country. There is room here for only 100% Americanism, only for those who are Americans and nothing else
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
Whatever it is, handle it so that your children's children will get the benefit of it.
Theodore Roosevelt
It is the people, and not the judges, who are entitled to say what their constitution means, for the constitution is theirs, it belongs to them and not to their servants in office—any other theory is incompatible with the foundation principles of our government.
Theodore Roosevelt
Aggressive fighting for the right is the noblest sport the world affords.
Theodore Roosevelt
Conservation means development as much as it does protection. I recognize the right and duty of this generation to develop and use the natural resources of our land but I do not recognize the right to waste them, or to rob, by wasteful use, the generations that come after us.
Theodore Roosevelt
The mother is the one supreme asset of national life she is more important by far than the successful statesman, or business man, or artist, or scientist.
Theodore Roosevelt
There can be nothing in the world more beautiful than the Yosemite, the groves of the giant sequoias and redwoods, the Canyon of the Colorado, the Canyon of the Yellowstone, the Three Tetons and our people should see to it that they are preserved for their children and their children's children forever, with their majestic beauty all unmarred.
Theodore Roosevelt
There can be no life without change, and to be afraid of what is different or unfamiliar is to be afraid of life.
Theodore Roosevelt
No President has ever enjoyed himself as much as I?
Theodore Roosevelt
We can just as little afford to follow the doctrinaires of an extreme individualism as the doctrinaires of an extreme socialism.
Theodore Roosevelt
I have now run up against an ugly snag, the Sunday Excise Law. It is altogether too strict, but I have no honorable alternative save to enforce it and I am enforcing it, to the furious rage of the saloon keepers, and of many good people too for which I am sorry.
Theodore Roosevelt
If we put corrupt men in public office and sneeringly acquiesce in their corruptions, then we are wrong ourselves.
Theodore Roosevelt
It is better to be faithful than famous.
Theodore Roosevelt
There is a delight in the hardy life of the open.
Theodore Roosevelt
In the Grand Canyon, Arizona has a natural wonder which is in kind absolutely unparalleled throughout the rest of the world.
Theodore Roosevelt
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting but never hit soft.
Theodore Roosevelt
To divide along the lines of section or caste or creed is un-American.
Theodore Roosevelt
The farther one gets into the wilderness, the greater is the attraction of its lonely freedom.
Theodore Roosevelt
