Quotations

I'm going to post some quotations from Teddy Roosevelt. Then I'm going to study.

Really.

The pacifist is as surely a traitor to his country and to humanity as is the most brutal wrongdoer.

The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.

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.

The first requisite of a good citizen in this republic of ours is that he shall be able and willing to pull his own weight.
