Quote

There are dreadful moments when death comes very near those we love, even if for the time being it passes by. But life is a great adventure, and the worst of all fears is the fear of living.

Image
Such an experiment without actual conditions of war to support it is a foolish waste of time. . . . I once saw a man kill a lion with a 30-30 caliber rifle under certain conditions, but that doesn't mean that a 30-30 rifle is a lion gun.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
We wish peace, but we wish the peace of justice, the peace of righteousness. We wish it because we think it is right and not because we are afraid.
Theodore Roosevelt

When I say I believe in a square deal i do not mean to give every man the best hand. If the cards do not come to any man, or if they do come, and he has not got the power to play them, that is his affair. All I mean is that there shall be no crookedness in the dealing.
Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt

A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Not trying is the surest way of achieving nothing at all.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
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

It's not the critic who counts.
Theodore Roosevelt

Show me a man who makes no mistakes, and I will show you a man who doesn't do things.
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
Image
No man is worth his salt who is not ready at all times to risk his well-being, to risk his body, to risk his life, in a great cause.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
This country will not be a good place for any of us to live in unless we make it a good place for all of us to live in.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Don't foul, don't flinch-hit the line hard.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
I dream of men who take the next step instead of worrying about the next thousand steps.
