More quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
I wish to see the Bible study as much a matter of course in the secular colleges as in the seminary.
Theodore Roosevelt
The one being abhorrent to the powers above the earth and under them is the hyphenated American
Theodore Roosevelt
We [must] hold the just balance and set ourselves as resolutely against improper corporate influence on the one hand as against demagogy and mob rule on the other.
Theodore Roosevelt
Those who oppose all reform will do well to remember that ruin in its worst form is inevitable if our national life brings us nothing better than swollen fortunes for the few and the triumph in both politics and business of a sordid and selfish materialism.
Theodore Roosevelt
No ordinary work done by a man is either as hard or as responsible as the work of a woman who is bringing up a family of small children for upon her time and strength demands are made not only every hour of the day but often every hour of the night.
Theodore Roosevelt
Men with the muckrake are often indispensable to the well-being of society, but only if they know when to stop raking the muck.
Theodore Roosevelt
Leave it as it is. You can not improve on it. You can only mar it. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it. What you can do is keep it for your children, your children's children and for all who come after you.
Theodore Roosevelt
We need the iron qualities that go with true manhood. We need the positive virtues of resolution, of courage, of indomitable will, of power to do without shrinking the rough work that must always be done.
Theodore Roosevelt
Do nothing to mar its grandeur ... keep it for your children, your children's children, and all who come after you, as the one great sight which every American should see.
Theodore Roosevelt
It is only the warlike power of a civilized people that can give peace to the world.
Theodore Roosevelt
The pacifist is as surely a traitor to his country and to humanity as is the most brutal wrongdoer.
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
There is superstition in science quite as much as there is superstition in theology, and it is all the more dangerous because those suffering from it are profoundly convinced that they are freeing themselves from all superstition.
Theodore Roosevelt
Our words must be judged by our deeds and in striving for a lofty ideal we must use practical methods and if we cannot attain all at one leap, we must advance towards it step by step, reasonably content so long as we do actually make some progress in the right direction.
Theodore Roosevelt
Don't limit your challenges - challenge your limits. Don't spread patriotism too thin.
Theodore Roosevelt
The wolf is the arch type of ravin, the beast of waste and desolation.
Theodore Roosevelt
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
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
The man who does not think it was America's duty to fight for her own sake in view of the infamous conduct of Germany toward us stands on a level with a man who wouldn't think it necessary to fight in a private quarrel because his wife's face was slapped.
Theodore Roosevelt
I have had a great time as president.
