More quotes by 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
If, in any individual, university training produces a taste for refined idleness, a distaste for sustained effort, a barren intellectual arrogance, or a sense of superfluous aloofness from the world of real men who do the world's real work, then it has harmed that individual.
Theodore Roosevelt
I have already lived and enjoyed as much life as any nine other men I have known.
Theodore Roosevelt
It is not the critic who counts
Theodore Roosevelt
Society has no business to permit degenerates to reproduce their kind
Theodore Roosevelt
No triumph of peace is quite so great as the supreme triumphs of war.
Theodore Roosevelt
The eighth commandment reads, Thou shalt not steal. It does not read, Thou shalt not steal from the rich man. It does not read, Thou shalt not steal from the poor man. It reads simply and plainly, Thou shalt not steal.
Theodore Roosevelt
Almost every man who has by his life-work added to the sum of human achievement of which the race is proud, of which our people are proud, almost every such man has based his life-work largely upon the teachings of the Bible
Theodore Roosevelt
It may be that at some time in the dim future of the race the need for war will vanish: but that time is yet ages distant. As yet no nation can hold its place in the world, or can do any work really worth doing, unless it stands ready to guard its right with an armed hand.
Theodore Roosevelt
Performance should be made square with promise.
Theodore Roosevelt
The farther one gets into the wilderness, the greater is the attraction of its lonely freedom.
Theodore Roosevelt
I do not believe there ever was any life more attractive to a vigorous young fellow than life on a cattle ranch in those days. It was a fine, healthy life, too it taught a man self-reliance, hardihood, and the value of instant decision...I enjoyed the life to the full.
Theodore Roosevelt
I always keep my weather eye on the opposition of my seventh house Moon to my first house Mars.
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
Abraham Lincoln - the spirit incarnate of those who won victory in the Civil War - was the true representative of this people, not only for his own generation, but for all time, because he was a man among men.
Theodore Roosevelt
A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education.
Theodore Roosevelt
Obedience of the law is demanded not asked as a favor.
Theodore Roosevelt
The hardest lessons to learn are those that are the most obvious.
Theodore Roosevelt
Much of the usefulness of any career must lie in the impress that it makes upon, and the lessons that it teaches to, the generations that come after.
Theodore Roosevelt
I am a strong individualist by personal habit, inheritance, and conviction but it is a mere matter of common sense to recognize that the State, the community, the citizens acting together, can do a number of things better than if they were left to individual action.
Theodore Roosevelt
