More quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
I have often been afraid, but I would not give in to it. I made myself act as though I was not afraid and gradually my fear disappeared.
Theodore Roosevelt
The weakling and the coward cannot be saved by honesty alone but without honesty the brave and able man is merely a civic wild beast who should be hunted down by every lover of righteousness. No man who is corrupt, no man who condones corruption in others, can possibly do his duty by the community.
Theodore Roosevelt
It is difficult to make our material condition better by the best law, but it is easy enough to ruin it by bad laws.
Theodore Roosevelt
In name we had the Declaration of Independence in 1776 but we gave the lie by our acts to the words of the Declaration of Independence until 1865 and words count for nothing except in so far as they represent acts.
Theodore Roosevelt
A true forest is not merely a storehouse full of wood, but, as it were, a factory of wood.
Theodore Roosevelt
A grove of giant redwood or sequoias should be kept just as we keep a great and beautiful cathedral.
Theodore Roosevelt
The reader, the booklover, must meet his own needs without paying too much attention to what his neighbors say those needs should be.
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
I think we are warranted in contending that a society thus constituted, and which may be rendered so admirable an engine of improvement, far from meriting reproach, deserves highly of the community.
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
To sit home, read one's favorite paper, and scoff at the misdeeds of the men who do things is easy, but it is markedly ineffective. It is what evil men count upon the good men's doing.
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
Honesty first then courage then brains - and all are indispensable.
Theodore Roosevelt
What I am to be, I am becoming.
Theodore Roosevelt
In doing your work in the great world, it is a safe plan to follow a rule I once heard on the football field: Don't flinch, don't fall hit the line hard.
Theodore Roosevelt
The only tyrannies from which men, women and children are suffering in real life are the tyrannies of minorities.
Theodore Roosevelt
No educated man can afford to be ignorant of the Bible.
Theodore Roosevelt
We despise and abhor the bully, the brawler, the oppressor, whether in private or public life, but we despise no less the coward and the voluptuary. No man is worth calling a man who will not fight rather than submit to infamy or see those that are dear to him suffer wrong.
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
Perhaps there is no more important component of character than steadfast resolution.
Theodore Roosevelt
