The joy of living is his who has the heart to demand it. Life is a great adventure, and I want to say to you, accept it in such a spirit.
Theodore Roosevelt
To have acted otherwise ... would have been the betrayal of the interests of the United States.
Theodore Roosevelt
The one being abhorrent to the powers above the earth and under them is the hyphenated American
Theodore Roosevelt
Let us rather run the risk of wearing out than rusting out.
Theodore Roosevelt
A small politician, of low capacity and mean surroundings, proud to act as the servile tool of men worse than himself but also stronger and abler.
Theodore Roosevelt
If elected, I shall see to it that every man has a square deal, no less and no more.
Theodore Roosevelt
We want the active and zealous help of every man far-sighted enough to realize the importance from the standpoint of the nation's welfare in the future of preserving the forests.
Theodore Roosevelt
'Liar' is just as ugly a word as 'thief,' because it implies the presence of just as ugly a sin in one case as in the other. If a man lies under oath or procures the lie of another under oath, if he perjures himself or suborns perjury, he is guilty under the statute law.
Theodore Roosevelt
In the great battle of life, no brilliancy of intellect, no perfection of bodily development, will count when weighed in the balance against the assemblage of virtues, active and passive, of moral qualities which we group together under the name of character.
Theodore Roosevelt
The wolf is the arch type of ravin, the beast of waste and desolation.
Theodore Roosevelt
Don't limit your challenges - challenge your limits. Don't spread patriotism too thin.
Theodore Roosevelt
To announce there must be no criticism of the president or that we are to stand with the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.
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
He [Lincoln] had mastered it {the Bible] absolutely...mastered it so that he became almost 'a man of one Book', who knew that Book and who instinctively put into practice what he had been taught therein.
Theodore Roosevelt
The hardest lessons to learn are those that are the most obvious.
Theodore Roosevelt
No triumph of peace is quite so great as the supreme triumphs of war.
Theodore Roosevelt
Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of today.
Theodore Roosevelt
If we put corrupt men in public office and sneeringly acquiesce in their corruptions, then we are wrong ourselves.
Theodore Roosevelt
My hat's in the ring. The fight is on and I'm stripped to the buff.
Theodore Roosevelt
We here in America, hold in our hands the hope of the world, the fate of the coming years and shame and disgrace will be ours if in our eyes the light of high resolve is dimmed, if we trail in the dust the golden hopes of men.
Theodore Roosevelt
