More quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
Is America a weakling, to shrink from the work of the great world powers? No! The young giant of the West stands on a continent and clasps the crest of an ocean in either hand. Our nation, glorious in youth and strength, looks into the future with eager eyes and rejoices as a strong man to run a race.
Theodore Roosevelt
The light has gone out of my life.
Theodore Roosevelt
The beauty and charm of the wilderness are his for the asking, for the edges of the wilderness lie close beside the beaten roads of the present travel.
Theodore Roosevelt
I have often been afraid, but I would not give in to it. I made myself act as though I was not afraid and gradually my fear disappeared.
Theodore Roosevelt
There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.
Theodore Roosevelt
A typical vice of American politics the avoidance of saying anything real on real issues, and the announcement of radical policies with much sound and fury, and at the same time with a cautious accompaniment of weasel phrases each of which sucks the meat out of the preceding statement.
Theodore Roosevelt
Materially we must strive to secure a broader economic opportunity for all men, so that each shall have a better chance to show the stuff of which he is made.
Theodore Roosevelt
There are good men and bad men of all nationalities, creeds and colors and if this world of ours is ever to become what we hope some day it may become, it must be by the general recognition that the man's heart and soul, the man's worth and actions, determine his standing.
Theodore Roosevelt
McKinley shows all the background of a chocolate eclair.
Theodore Roosevelt
If elected, I shall see to it that every man has a square deal, no less and no more.
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
The only time you really live fully is from thirty to sixty. The young are slaves to dreams the old servants of regrets. Only the middle-aged have all their five senses in the keeping of their wits.
Theodore Roosevelt
Only those are fit to live who do not fear to die and none are fit to die who have shrunk from the joy of life and the duty of life.
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.
Theodore Roosevelt
The first requisite of a good citizen in this republic of ours is that he shall be able and willing to pull his own weight.
Theodore Roosevelt
Short-sighted men who in their greed and selfishness will, if permitted, rob our country of half its charm by their reckless extermination of all useful and beautiful wild things.
Theodore Roosevelt
My hat's in the ring. The fight is on and I'm stripped to the buff.
Theodore Roosevelt
No President has ever enjoyed himself as much as I?
Theodore Roosevelt
I am an American free born and free bred, where I acknowledge no man as my superior, except for his own worth, or as my inferior, except for his own demerit.
Theodore Roosevelt
Absence and death are the same - only that in death there is no suffering.
Theodore Roosevelt
