Theodore Roosevelt
Then get busy and find out how to do it.
Theodore Roosevelt
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena whose face is marred with dust and sweat who strives valiantly who errs and may fall again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming.
Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt

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

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
The vice of envy is not only a dangerous, but a mean vice for it is always a confession of inferiority. It may promote conduct which will be fruitful of wrong to others, and it must cause misery to the man who feels it.
Theodore Roosevelt
All for each, and each for all, is a good motto but only on condition that each works with might and main to so maintain himself as not to be a burden to others.
Theodore Roosevelt
No other President ever enjoyed the Presidency as I did.
Theodore Roosevelt
The name Roosevelt has this legendary force in our country at this time.
Theodore Roosevelt
There is quite enough sorrow and shame and suffering and baseness in real life, and there is no need for meeting it unnecessarily in fiction.
Theodore Roosevelt
Constructive change offers the best method for avoiding destructive change.
Theodore Roosevelt
