More quotes by Theodore Roosevelt

Image
After the war, and until the day of his death, his position on almost every public question was either mischievous or ridiculous, and usually both.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
No man can lead a public career really worth leading, no man can act with rugged independence in serious crises, nor strike at great abuses, nor afford to make powerful and unscrupulous foes, if he is himself vulnerable in his private character.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
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
Image
There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
The extermination of the buffalo has been a veritable tragedy of the animal world.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
I regard the Masonic institution as one of the means ordained by the Supreme Architect to enable mankind to work out the problem of destiny to fight against, and overcome, the weaknesses and imperfections of his nature, and at last to attain to that true life of which death is the herald and the grave the portal.
Theodore Roosevelt

I am a part of everything that I have read.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
No ordinary work done by a man is either as hard or as responsible as the work of a woman who is bringing up a family of small children for upon her time and strength demands are made not only every hour of the day but often every hour of the night.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
To waste, to destroy our natural resources, to skin and exhaust the land instead of using it so as to increase its usefulness, will result in undermining in the days of our children the very prosperity which we ought by right to hand down to them amplified and developed.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
The object of government is the welfare of the people.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
I believe that there should be a very much heavier progressive tax on very large incomes, a tax which should increase in a very marked fashion for the gigantic incomes.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
It tires me to talk to rich men. You expect a man of millions, the head of a great industry, to be a man worthhearing but as a rule they don't know anything outside their own business.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Work hard at work worth doing.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Every Man owes some of his time to the upbuilding of the profession to which he belongs.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
I highly venerate the Masonic Institution, under the fullest persuasion that, when its principles are acknowledged and its laws and precepts obeyed, it comes nearest to the Christian religion, in its moral effects and influence, of any institution with which I am acquainted.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
I dream of men who take the next step instead of worrying about the next thousand steps.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Every man holds his property subject to the general right of the community to regulate its use to whatever degree the public welfare may require it.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
When you are asked if you can do a job, tell 'em, 'Certainly I can!' Then get busy and find out how to do it.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
The only trouble with the movement for the preservation of our forests is that it has not gone nearly far enough, and was not begun soon enough.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
A President has a great chance his position is almost that of a king and a prime minister rolled into one.
