More quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
Then get busy and find out how to do it.
Theodore Roosevelt
It is, of course, the merest truism to say a party is of use only so far as it serves the nation.
Theodore Roosevelt
Men with the muckrake are often indispensable to the well-being of society, but only if they know when to stop raking the muck.
Theodore Roosevelt
No man can be a good citizen unless he has a wage more than sufficient to cover the bare cost of living, and hours of labor short enough so after his day's work is done he will have time and energy to bear his share in the management of the community, to help in carrying the general load.
Theodore Roosevelt
The greatest historian should also be a great moralist. It is no proof of impartiality to treat wickedness and goodness on the same level.
Theodore Roosevelt
The worst thing I can do is nothing.
Theodore Roosevelt
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.
Theodore Roosevelt
What counts in a man or in a nation is not what the man or the nation can do, but what he or it actually does.
Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt
Yes, my friend, and if you will steal for me then you will steal from me.
Theodore Roosevelt
There is no effort without error or shortcoming.
Theodore Roosevelt
A really great people, proud and high spirited, would face all the disasters of war rather than purchase that base prosperity which is bought at the price of national honor.
Theodore Roosevelt
The wolf is the arch type of ravin, the beast of waste and desolation.
Theodore Roosevelt
Every reform movement has a lunatic fringe.
Theodore Roosevelt
Rarely has any people enjoyed greater prosperity than we are now enjoying. For this we render heartfelt and solemn thanks to the Giver of Good and we seek to praise Him -not by words only -but by deeds, by the way in which we do our duty to ourselves and to our fellow men.
Theodore Roosevelt
You can't choose your potential, but you can choose to fulfill it.
Theodore Roosevelt
Performance should be made square with promise.
Theodore Roosevelt
No man is above the law and no man is below it: nor do we ask any man's permission when we ask him to obey it.
Theodore Roosevelt
Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.
Theodore Roosevelt
The nation should be ruled by the Ten Commandments.
Theodore Roosevelt
