More quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
There can be no greater issue than that of conservation in this country.
Theodore Roosevelt
With great victory comes great sacrifice.
Theodore Roosevelt
There are no words that can tell the hidden spirit of the wilderness, that can reveal its mystery, its melancholy and its charm.
Theodore Roosevelt
I feel most emphatically that we should not turn into shingles a tree which was old when the first Egyptian conqueror penetrated to the valley of the Euphrates.
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
There never has been devised, and there never will be devised, any law which will enable a man to succeed save by the exercise of those qualities which have always been the prerequisites of success - the qualities of hard work, of keen intelligence, of unflinching will.
Theodore Roosevelt
The farther one gets into the wilderness, the greater is the attraction of its lonely freedom.

Conservation is a great moral issue, for it involves the patriotic duty of insuring the safety and continuance of the nation.
Theodore Roosevelt
I always keep my weather eye on the opposition of my seventh house Moon to my first house Mars.
Theodore Roosevelt
No greater wrong can ever be done than to put a good man at the mercy of a bad, while telling him not to defend himself or his fellows in no way can the success of evil be made surer or quicker.
Theodore Roosevelt
The man who really counts in the world is the doer, not the mere critic -- the man who actually does the work, even if roughly and imperfectly, not the man who only talks or writes about how it ought to be done.
Theodore Roosevelt
The only time you really live fully is from thirty to sixty. The young are slaves to dreams the old servants of regrets. Only the middle-aged have all their five senses in the keeping of their wits.
Theodore Roosevelt
There is nothing more distressing ... than the hard, scoffing spirit which treats the allegation of dishonesty in a public man as a cause for laughter. Such laughter is worse than the crackling of thorns under a pot, for it denotes not merely the vacant mind, but the heart in which high emotions have been choked before they could grow to fruition.
Theodore Roosevelt
Life brings sorrows and joys alike. It is what a man does with them - not what they do to him - that is the true test of his mettle.
Theodore Roosevelt
To permit every lawless capitalist, every law-defying corporation, to take any action, no matter how iniquitous, in the effort to secure an improper profit and to build up privilege, would be ruinous to the Republic and would mark the abandonment of the effort to secure in the industrial world the spirit of democratic fair dealing.
Theodore Roosevelt
In foreign affairs we must make up our minds that whether we wish it or not, we are a great people and must play a great part in the world. It is not open to us to choose whether we will play that great part or not.
Theodore Roosevelt
Gradually the true Mason gains experience in using these working tools and can observe subtler and subtler indications of personal flaws.
Theodore Roosevelt
When we undertake the impossible, we often fail to do anything at all.
Theodore Roosevelt
Society has no business to permit degenerates to reproduce their kind
