More quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
The light has gone out of my life.
Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt
It may be true that he travels farthest who travels alone, but the goal thus reached is not worth reaching.
Theodore Roosevelt
Great thoughts speak only to the thoughtful mind, but great actions speak to all mankind.
Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt
I wish to preach, not the doctrine of ignoble ease, but the doctrine of the strenuous life.
Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt
A healthy state can exist only when the men and women who make it up lead clean, vigorous, healthy lives when the children are so trained that they shall endeavor, not to shirk difficulties, but to overcome them not to seek ease, but to know how to wrest triumph from toil and risk.
Theodore Roosevelt
The United States does not have a choice as to whether or not is will or will not play a great part in the world. Fate has made that choice for us. The only question is whether we will play the part well or badly.
Theodore Roosevelt

We have become a great nation, forced by the fact of its greatness into relations with other nations of the earth, and we must behave as beseems a people with such responsibilities.
Theodore Roosevelt
Your ability needs responsibility to expose its possibilities. Do what you can with what you have where you are.
Theodore Roosevelt
The one being abhorrent to the powers above the earth and under them is the hyphenated American
Theodore Roosevelt
To have acted otherwise ... would have been the betrayal of the interests of the United States.
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
Freedom means the supremacy of human rights everywhere.
Theodore Roosevelt
Constructive change offers the best method for avoiding destructive change.
Theodore Roosevelt
Nine tenths of wisdom consists in being wise in time.
Theodore Roosevelt
No triumph of peace is quite so great as the supreme triumphs of war.
Theodore Roosevelt
Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it, you've got to start young.
Theodore Roosevelt
Obedience of the law is demanded not asked as a favor.
Theodore Roosevelt
