More quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
I do not in the least object to a sport because it is rough.
Theodore Roosevelt
We are the heirs of the ages
Theodore Roosevelt
Rattlesnakes are only too plentiful everywhere along the river bottoms, in the broken, hilly ground, and on the prairies and the great desert wastes alike...If it can it will get out of the way, and only coils up in its attitude of defence when it believes that it is actually menaced.
Theodore Roosevelt
There is apt to be a lunatic fringe among the votaries of any forward movement.
Theodore Roosevelt
In doing your work in the great world, it is a safe plan to follow a rule I once heard on the football field: Don't flinch, don't fall hit the line hard.
Theodore Roosevelt
The modern naturalist must realize that in some of its branches his profession, while more than ever a science, has also become an art.
Theodore Roosevelt
Get action. Seize the moment. Man was never intended to become an oyster.
Theodore Roosevelt
Never hit if you can help it, but when you have to, hit hard. Never hit soft. You'll never get any thanks for hitting soft.
Theodore Roosevelt
Power always brings with it responsibility.
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
With a great moral issue involved, neutrality does not serve righteousness for to be neutral between right and wrong is to serve wrong.
Theodore Roosevelt
I never keep boys waiting. It's a hard trial for a boy to wait.
Theodore Roosevelt
I put myself in the way of things happening, and they happened.
Theodore Roosevelt
Constructive change offers the best method for avoiding destructive change.
Theodore Roosevelt
I like to see Quentin (Roosevelt) practicing baseball. It gives me hope that one of my boys will not take after his father in this respect, and will prove able to play the national game.
Theodore Roosevelt
Americanism is a question of spirit, of conviction and purpose, not creed or birthplaces. The test of our worth is the service we render.
Theodore Roosevelt
I highly venerate the Masonic Institution, under the fullest persuasion that, when its principles are acknowledged and its laws and precepts obeyed, it comes nearest to the Christian religion, in its moral effects and influence, of any institution with which I am acquainted.
Theodore Roosevelt
Life is as if you were traveling a ridge crest. You have the gulf of inefficiency on one side and the gulf of wickedness on the other, and it helps not to have avoided one gulf if you fall into the other.
Theodore Roosevelt
I regard the Masonic institution as one of the means ordained by the Supreme Architect to enable mankind to work out the problem of destiny to fight against, and overcome, the weaknesses and imperfections of his nature, and at last to attain to that true life of which death is the herald and the grave the portal.
Theodore Roosevelt
The White House is a bully pulpit.
Theodore Roosevelt
