Theodore Roosevelt
It's not the critic who counts.
Theodore Roosevelt
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
The man who really counts in the world is the doer, not the mere critic -- the man who actually does the work, even if roughly and imperfectly, not the man who only talks or writes about how it ought to be done.
Theodore Roosevelt
I feel as fit as a bull moose.
Theodore Roosevelt
Aggressive fighting for the right is the noblest sport the world affords.

Theodore Roosevelt
