In life, as in football, the principle to follow is to hit the line hard.

Theodore Roosevelt 920 quotes

With great victory comes great sacrifice.

Theodore Roosevelt 920 quotes

The great virtue of my radicalism lies in the fact that I am perfectly ready, if necessary, to be radical on the conservative side.

Theodore Roosevelt 920 quotes

When I say I believe in a squa...

When I say I believe in a square deal i do not mean to give every man the best hand. If the cards do not come to any man, or if they do come, and he has not got the power to play them, that is his affair. All I mean is that there shall be no crookedness in the dealing.

Practical efficiency is common...

Practical efficiency is common, and lofty idealism not uncommon; it is the combination which is necessary, and the combination is rare

I always keep my weather eye on the opposition of my seventh house Moon to my first house Mars.

Theodore Roosevelt 920 quotes

The fortunes amassed through c...

The fortunes amassed through corporate organization are now so large, and vest such power in those that wield them, as to make it a matter of necessity to give to the sovereign - that is, to the Government, which represents the people as a whole - some effective power of supervision over their corporate use. In order to insure a healthy social and industrial life, every big corporation should be held responsible by, and be accountable to, some sovereign strong enough to control its conduct.

Theodore Roosevelt 920 quotes

In other words, character is far more important than intellect to the race as to the individual. We need intellect, and there is no reason why we should not have it together with character; but if we must choose between the two we choose character without a moment's hesitation.

The great man is always the man of mighty effort.

Theodore Roosevelt 920 quotes

I am a man who believes with a...

I am a man who believes with all fervor and intensity in moderate progress. Too often men who believe in moderation believe in it only moderately and tepidly and leave fervor to the extremists of the two sides - the extremists of reaction and the extremists of progress. Washington, Lincoln . . . are men who, to my mind, stand as the types of what wide, progressive leadership should be.

Theodore Roosevelt 920 quotes

Just as Lincoln got contradict...

Just as Lincoln got contradictory advice from the extremists of both sides . . . so now I have to guard myself against the extremists of both sides.

Theodore Roosevelt 920 quotes

We [must] hold the just balance and set ourselves as resolutely against improper corporate influence on the one hand as against demagogy and mob rule on the other.

Aggressive fighting for the right is the noblest sport the world affords.

Knowing what's right doesn't mean much unless you do what's right.

Theodore Roosevelt 920 quotes

If there is one tendency of th...

If there is one tendency of the day which more than any other is unhealthy and undesirable, it is the tendency to deify mere 'smartness,' unaccompanied by a sense of moral accountability. We shall never make our republic what it should be until as a people we thoroughly understand and put in practice the doctrine that success is abhorrent if attained by the sacrifice of the fundamental principles of morality.

Theodore Roosevelt 920 quotes

There is quite enough sorrow a...

There is quite enough sorrow and shame and suffering and baseness in real life, and there is no need for meeting it unnecessarily in fiction.

Theodore Roosevelt 920 quotes

It may be true that he travels...

It may be true that he travels farthest who travels alone, but the goal thus reached is not worth reaching.

Theodore Roosevelt 920 quotes

We cannot afford to differ on ...

We cannot afford to differ on the question of honesty if we expect our republic permanently to endure. Honesty is not so much a credit as an absolute prerequisite to efficient service to the public. Unless a man is honest, we have no right to keep him in public life; it matters not how brilliant his capacity.

Theodore Roosevelt 920 quotes

We need the iron qualities tha...

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.
