Theodore Roosevelt Quotes


"A cynical habit of thought and speech, a readiness to criticise work which the critic himself never tries to perform . . . these are marks, not as the possessor would fain to think, of superiority but of weakness. They mark the men . . . who seek, in the affection of contempt for the achievements of others, to hide from others and from themselves in their own weakness." ~Theodore Roosevelt, "Citizenship in a Republic," Paris, 1910

"A Thorough Knowledge of the Bible is Worth More Than a College Education." ~Theodore Rosevelt

“Here’s your country. Cherish these natural wonders, cherish the natural resources, cherish the history and romance as a sacred heritage, for your children and your children’s children. Do not let selfish men or greedy interests skin your country of its beauty, it’s riches or its romance.” ~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 have always said I would not have been President had it not been for my experience in North Dakota." ~Theodore Roosevelt

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." ~Theodore Roosevelt

"Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground." ~Theodore Roosevelt

“Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.”  ~Theodore Roosevelt

"The most important single ingredient in the formula for success is knowing how to get along with people." ~Theodore Roosevelt

"The poorest way to face life is to face it with a sneer.

There is no more unhealthy being, no man less worthy of respect." ~Theodore Roosevelt

"There is a delight in the hardy life of the open."  ~Theodore Roosevelt
