Theodore Roosevelt quotes
-
Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.
-
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, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; 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 fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
-
Believe you can and you're halfway there.
-
It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.
-
The only man who never makes mistakes is the man who never does anything.
-
When you're at the end of your rope, tie a knot and hold on.
-
To educate a person in the mind but not in morals is to educate a menace to society.
-
Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground.
-
The things that will destroy America are prosperity at any price, peace at any price, safety first instead of duty first and love of soft living and the get-rich-quick theory of life.
-
No one cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.
-
Here is 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, its riches or its romance.
-
The best executive is the one who has sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done, and self-restraint to keep from meddling with them while they do it.
