Theodore Roosevelt
“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.”
“Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.”
“A typical vice of American politics is the avoidance of saying anything real on real issues.”
“A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad.”
“A man who is good enough to shed his blood for the country is good enough to be given a square deal afterwards.”
“Every immigrant who comes here should be required within five years to learn English or leave the country.”
“Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.”
“There can be no fifty-fifty Americanism in this country. There is room here for only 100 percent. Americanism, only for those who are Americans and nothing else.”
“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.”
