Theodore Roosevelt
Your ability needs responsibility to expose its possibilities. Do what you can with what you have where you are.
Theodore Roosevelt
The greatest historian should also be a great moralist. It is no proof of impartiality to treat wickedness and goodness on the same level.

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
What counts in a man or in a nation is not what the man or the nation can do, but what he or it actually does.

Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt
The name Roosevelt has this legendary force in our country at this time.
Theodore Roosevelt
Let us speak courteously, deal fairly, and keep ourselves armed and ready.
Theodore Roosevelt
I stand for the square deal. I mean not merely that I stand for fair play under the present rules of the game, but that I stand for having those rules changed so as to work for a more substantial equality of opportunity and of reward for equally good service.
Theodore Roosevelt
The nation should be ruled by the Ten Commandments.
Theodore Roosevelt
Don't foul, don't flinch-hit the line hard.
Theodore Roosevelt
Nine tenths of wisdom consists in being wise in time.
Theodore Roosevelt
Hardness of heart is a dreadful quality, but it is doubtful whether in the long run it works more damage than softness of head.
Theodore Roosevelt
In foreign affairs we must make up our minds that whether we wish it or not, we are a great people and must play a great part in the world. It is not open to us to choose whether we will play that great part or not.
Theodore Roosevelt
