More quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
Profanity is the parlance of the fool. Why curse when there is such a magnificent language with which to discourse?
Theodore Roosevelt
I hold it to be our duty to see that the wage-worker, the small producer, the ordinary consumer, shall get their fair share of business prosperity. But it either is or ought to be evident to everyone that business has to prosper before anybody can get any benefit from it.
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
The highest form of success comes to the man who does not shrink from danger, from hardship or from bitter toil, and who, out of these, wins the splendid ultimate triumph.
Theodore Roosevelt
The chase is among the best of all national pastimes it cultivates that vigorous manliness for the lack of which in a nation, as in an individual, the possession of no other qualities can possibly atone.
Theodore Roosevelt
It may be true that he travels farthest who travels alone, but the goal thus reached is not worth reaching.
Theodore Roosevelt
The nation behaves well if it treats the natural resources as assets which it must turn over to the next generation increased and not impaired in value.
Theodore Roosevelt
A leader is an average, everyday person who is highly motivated.
Theodore Roosevelt
For unflagging interest and enjoyment, a household of children, if things go reasonably well, certainly all other forms of success and achievement lose their importance by comparison.
Theodore Roosevelt
Only those are fit to live who do not fear to die and none are fit to die who have shrunk from the joy of life and the duty of life.
Theodore Roosevelt
The reactionary is always willing to take a progressive attitude on any issue that is dead.
Theodore Roosevelt
A good Navy is not a provocation to war. It is the surest guaranty of peace.
Theodore Roosevelt
Hardness of heart is a dreadful quality, but it is doubtful whether in the long run it works more damage than softness of head.
Theodore Roosevelt
Nothing worth having was ever achieved without effort.
Theodore Roosevelt
The president is that invisible force that makes a school of fish suddenly change direction, so that everyone 'ohhs' and 'ahhs' at the glimmering mass and only later wonders what makes them move in that way. I read somewhere-_Harper's_, I'm fairly certain-that the fish are only avoiding pockets of extra cold water.
Theodore Roosevelt
In this world the one thing supremely worth having is the opportunity to do well and worthily a piece of work of vital consequence to the welfare of mankind.
Theodore Roosevelt
Great corporations exist only because they are created and safeguarded by our institutions and it is therefore our right and duty to see that they work in harmony with these institutions.
Theodore Roosevelt
If we put corrupt men in public office and sneeringly acquiesce in their corruptions, then we are wrong ourselves.
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
There is a delight in the hardy life of the open.
Theodore Roosevelt
