A finer body of men has never...

A finer body of men has never been gathered by any nation than the men who have done the work of building the Panama Canal; the conditions under which they have lived and have done their work have been better than in any similar work ever undertaken in the tropics; they have all felt an eager pride in their work; and they have made not only America but the whole world their debtors by what they have accomplished.

Theodore Roosevelt 920 quotes

A healthy-minded boy should f...

A healthy-minded boy should feel hearty contempt for the coward and even more hearty indignation for the boy who bullies girls or small boys, or tortures animals.

Theodore Roosevelt 920 quotes

What counts in a man or in a ...

What counts in a man or in a nation is not what the man or the nation can do, but what he or it actually does.

Theodore Roosevelt 920 quotes

We face the future with our p...

We face the future with our past and our present as guarantors of our promises; and we are content to stand or to fall by the record which we have made and are making.

Theodore Roosevelt 920 quotes

To borrow a simile from the f...

To borrow a simile from the football field, we believe that men must play fair, but that there must be no shirking, and that the success can only come to the player who hits the line hard.

Theodore Roosevelt 920 quotes

Rough board shelves hold a nu...

Rough board shelves hold a number of books, without which some of the evenings would be long indeed.

Theodore Roosevelt 920 quotes

The most ultimately righteous...

The most ultimately righteous of all wars is a war with savages, though it is apt to be also the most terrible and inhuman. The rude, fierce settler who drives the savage from the land lays all civilized mankind under a debt to him. ...[I]t is of incalculable importance that America, Australia, and Siberia should pass out of the hands of their red, black, and yellow aboriginal owners, and become the heritage of the dominant world races.

Theodore Roosevelt 920 quotes

We sincerely and earnestly be...

We sincerely and earnestly believe in peace; but if peace and justice conflict, we scorn the man who would not stand for justice though the whole world came in arms against him.

Theodore Roosevelt 920 quotes

Much of the usefulness of any...

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 920 quotes

No triumph of peace can equal...

No triumph of peace can equal the armed triumph of war.

Theodore Roosevelt 920 quotes

In the great battle of life, ...

In the great battle of life, no brilliancy of intellect, no perfection of bodily development, will count when weighed in the balance against the assemblage of virtues, active and passive, of moral qualities which we group together under the name of character.

Theodore Roosevelt 920 quotes

We want the active and zealou...

We want the active and zealous help of every man far-sighted enough to realize the importance from the standpoint of the nation's welfare in the future of preserving the forests.

Theodore Roosevelt 920 quotes

I like to see Quentin (Roosevelt) practicing baseball. It gives me hope that one of my boys will not take after his father in this respect, and will prove able to play the national game.

Theodore Roosevelt 920 quotes

Such an experiment without ac...

Such an experiment without actual conditions of war to support it is a foolish waste of time. . . . I once saw a man kill a lion with a 30-30 caliber rifle under certain conditions, but that doesn't mean that a 30-30 rifle is a lion gun.

Theodore Roosevelt 920 quotes

The little owls call to each ...

The little owls call to each other with tremulous, quavering voices throughout the livelong night, as they sit in the creaking trees.

Theodore Roosevelt 920 quotes

Much has been given us, and m...

Much has been given us, and much will rightfully be expected from us. We have duties to others and duties to ourselves; and we can shrink neither.

Theodore Roosevelt 920 quotes

The ordinary air fighter is a...

The ordinary air fighter is an extraordinary man and the extraordinary air fighter stands as one in a million among his fellows.

Theodore Roosevelt 920 quotes

...to befoul the unholy allia...

...to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day.

Theodore Roosevelt 920 quotes

Some reformers may urge that ...

Some reformers may urge that in the ages distant future, patriotism, like the habit of monogamous marriage, will become a needless and obsolete virtue; but just at present the man who loves other countries as much as he does his own is quite as noxious a member of society as the man who loves other women as much as he loves his wife. Love of country is an elemental virtue, like love of home.

Theodore Roosevelt 920 quotes

Life is as if you were travel...

Life is as if you were traveling a ridge crest. You have the gulf of inefficiency on one side and the gulf of wickedness on the other, and it helps not to have avoided one gulf if you fall into the other.
