More quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
I would rather go out of politics having the feeling that I had done what was right than stay in with the approval of all men, knowing in my heart that I have acted as I ought not to.
Theodore Roosevelt
Over-sentimentality, over-softness, in fact washiness and mushiness are the great dangers of this age and of this people. Unless we keep the barbarian virtues, gaining the civilized ones will be of little avail.
Theodore Roosevelt
The biggest corporation, like the humblest private citizen, must be held to strict compliance with the will of the people as expressed in the fundamental law.
Theodore Roosevelt
No great intellectual thing was ever done by great effort.
Theodore Roosevelt
Envy is as evil a thing as arrogance.
Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt
Conservation of our resources is the fundamental question before this nation, and that our first and greatest task is to set our house in order and begin to live within our means.
Theodore Roosevelt
Personally I have never been able to understand why the head of a big business, whether it be the Nation, the State or the Army, or Navy should not desire to have very strong and positive people under him.
Theodore Roosevelt
It's not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of the deeds could have done better.
Theodore Roosevelt
I violate no secret when I say that one of the greatest values in Masonry is that it affords an opportunity for men of all walks of life to meet on common ground where all men are equal and have one common interest.
Theodore Roosevelt
Don't limit your challenges - challenge your limits. Don't spread patriotism too thin.
Theodore Roosevelt
Honesty first then courage then brains - and all are indispensable.
Theodore Roosevelt
Those who oppose all reform will do well to remember that ruin in its worst form is inevitable if our national life brings us nothing better than swollen fortunes for the few and the triumph in both politics and business of a sordid and selfish materialism.
Theodore Roosevelt
The worst lesson that can be taught to a man is to rely upon others and to whine over his sufferings
Theodore Roosevelt
The American people are slow to wrath, but when their wrath is once kindled it burns like a consuming flame.
Theodore Roosevelt
The name Roosevelt has this legendary force in our country at this time.
Theodore Roosevelt
One of our defects as a nation is a tendency to use what have been called weasel words.
Theodore Roosevelt
The death-knell of the republic had rung as soon as the active power became lodged in the hands of those who sought, not to do justice to all citizens, rich and poor alike, but to stand for one special class and for its interests as opposed to the interests of others.
Theodore Roosevelt
The country is the place for children, and if not the country, a city small enough so that one can get out into the country.
Theodore Roosevelt
You cannot create prosperity by law. Sustained thrift, industry, application, intelligence, are the only things that ever do, or ever will, create prosperity. But you can very easily destroy prosperity by law.
Theodore Roosevelt
