More quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
We should not forget that it will be just as important to our descendants to be prosperous in their time as it is to us to be prosperous in our time.
Theodore Roosevelt
Every expansion of civilization makes for peace. In other words, every expansion of a great civilized power means a victory for law, order, and righteousness. ...It is only the warlike power of a civilized people that can give peace to the world.
Theodore Roosevelt
I believe that there should be a very much heavier progressive tax on very large incomes, a tax which should increase in a very marked fashion for the gigantic incomes.
Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt
It's not the critic who counts.
Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt
The farmer is a poor creature who skins the land and leaves it worthless to his children. The farmer is a good farmer who, having enabled the land to support himself and to provide for the education of his children, leaves it to them a little better than he found it himself.
Theodore Roosevelt
No greater wrong can ever be done than to put a good man at the mercy of a bad, while telling him not to defend himself or his fellows in no way can the success of evil be made surer or quicker.
Theodore Roosevelt
What I have advocated is not wild radicalism. It is the highest and wisest kind of conservatism.
Theodore Roosevelt
A good shot must necessarily be a good man since the essence of good marksmanship is self-control and self-control is the essential quality of a good man.
Theodore Roosevelt
There is a delight in the hardy life of the open.
Theodore Roosevelt
Those who advocate total lack of regulation, those who advocate lawlessness in the business world, themselves give the strongest impulse to what I believe would be the deadening movement toward unadulterated state socialism.
Theodore Roosevelt
Then get busy and find out how to do it.
Theodore Roosevelt
The Welfare of Each of Us Is Dependent Fundamentally Upon the Welfare of All of Us
Theodore Roosevelt
After the war, and until the day of his death, his position on almost every public question was either mischievous or ridiculous, and usually both.
Theodore Roosevelt
For unflagging interest and enjoyment, a household of children, if things go reasonably well, certainly all other forms of success and achievement lose their importance by comparison.
Theodore Roosevelt
The public must retain control of the great waterways. It is essential that any permit to obstruct them for reasons and on conditions that seem good at the moment should be subject to revision when changed conditions demand.
Theodore Roosevelt
