More quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
We need the iron qualities that go with true manhood. We need the positive virtues of resolution, of courage, of indomitable will, of power to do without shrinking the rough work that must always be done.
Theodore Roosevelt
We fight in honourable fashion for the good of mankind fearless of the future, unheeding of our individual fates, with unflinching hearts and undimmed eyes we stand at Armageddon, and we battle for the Lord
Theodore Roosevelt
I must be wanting to be President. Every young man does. But I won't let myself think of it I must not, because if I do, I will begin to work for it I'll be careful, calculating, cautious in word and act, and so - I'll beat myself.
Theodore Roosevelt
Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt
Absence and death are the same - only that in death there is no suffering.
Theodore Roosevelt
To announce that there must be no criticism of the president... is morally treasonable to the American public.
Theodore Roosevelt
I don't think any President ever enjoyed himself more than I did. Moreover, I don't think any ex-President ever enjoyed himself more.
Theodore Roosevelt
'Liar' is just as ugly a word as 'thief,' because it implies the presence of just as ugly a sin in one case as in the other. If a man lies under oath or procures the lie of another under oath, if he perjures himself or suborns perjury, he is guilty under the statute law.
Theodore Roosevelt
He who makes no mistakes makes no progress.
Theodore Roosevelt
It is well indeed for out land that we of this generation have learned to think nationally.
Theodore Roosevelt
The man of great wealth owes a peculiar obligation to the state because he derives special advantages from the mere existence of government.
Theodore Roosevelt
There are those who believe that a new modernity demands a new morality. What they fail to consider is the harsh reality that there is no such thing as a new morality. There is only one morality . All else is immorality.
Theodore Roosevelt
I'm as strong as a bull moose and you can use me to the limit.
Theodore Roosevelt
Every expansion of civilization makes for peace. In other words, every expansion of a great civilized power means a victory for law, order, and righteousness. ...It is only the warlike power of a civilized people that can give peace to the world.
Theodore Roosevelt
Materially we must strive to secure a broader economic opportunity for all men, so that each shall have a better chance to show the stuff of which he is made.
Theodore Roosevelt
Anything that encourages pauperism, anything that relaxes the manly fiber and lowers self-respect, is an unmixed evil.
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
Laws are essential emanations from the self-poised character of God they radiate from the sun to the circling edge of creation. Verily, the mighty Lawgiver hath subjected himself unto laws.
Theodore Roosevelt
I always keep my weather eye on the opposition of my seventh house Moon to my first house Mars.
Theodore Roosevelt
I have had a great time as president.
Theodore Roosevelt
