More quotes by Theodore Roosevelt

Image
Over-sentimentality, over-softness, in fact washiness and mushiness are the great dangers of this age and of this people. Unless we keep the barbarian virtues, gaining the civilized ones will be of little avail.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Great corporations exist only because they are created and safeguarded by our institutions and it is therefore our right and duty to see that they work in harmony with these institutions.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Alike for the nation and the individual, the one indispensable requisite is character.
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
Image
Constructive change offers the best method for avoiding destructive change.

Theodore Roosevelt
Image
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
Image
Much of the usefulness of any career must lie in the impress that it makes upon, and the lessons that it teaches to, the generations that come after.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
We despise and abhor the bully, the brawler, the oppressor, whether in private or public life, but we despise no less the coward and the voluptuary. No man is worth calling a man who will not fight rather than submit to infamy or see those that are dear to him suffer wrong.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
It's not having been in the Dark House, but having left it that counts.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Nowadays the field naturalist-who is usually at all points superior to the mere closet naturalist-follows a profession as full of hazard and interest as that of the explorer or of the big-game hunter in the remote wilderness.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
The farther one gets into the wilderness, the greater is the attraction of its lonely freedom.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
The first duty of an American citizen, then, is that he shall work in politics.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
If elected, I shall see to it that every man has a square deal, no less and no more.
