More quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
We cannot afford to differ on the question of honesty if we expect our republic permanently to endure. Honesty is not so much a credit as an absolute prerequisite to efficient service to the public. Unless a man is honest, we have no right to keep him in public life it matters not how brilliant his capacity.
Theodore Roosevelt
When I hear of the destruction of a species, I feel just as if all the works of some great writer have perished.
Theodore Roosevelt
I shall ask you to be as quiet as possible. I don’t know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot — but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose.
Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt
We do not admire a man of timid peace.
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
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
Comparison is the thief of joy.
Theodore Roosevelt
Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.
Theodore Roosevelt
The American people abhor a vacuum.
Theodore Roosevelt
The president is that invisible force that makes a school of fish suddenly change direction, so that everyone 'ohhs' and 'ahhs' at the glimmering mass and only later wonders what makes them move in that way. I read somewhere-_Harper's_, I'm fairly certain-that the fish are only avoiding pockets of extra cold water.
Theodore Roosevelt
The man who does not think it was America's duty to fight for her own sake in view of the infamous conduct of Germany toward us stands on a level with a man who wouldn't think it necessary to fight in a private quarrel because his wife's face was slapped.
Theodore Roosevelt
Don't limit your challenges - challenge your limits. Don't spread patriotism too thin.
Theodore Roosevelt
For those who fight for it life has a flavor the sheltered will never know
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
Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it, you've got to start young.
Theodore Roosevelt
Absence and death are the same - only that in death there is no suffering.
Theodore Roosevelt
I don't go so far as to think that the only good Indians are dead Indians, but I believe nine out of ten are, and I shouldn't like to inquire too closely into the case of the tenth.
Theodore Roosevelt
The only man who never makes a mistake is the man who never does anything.
Theodore Roosevelt
