Quote by -Theodore Roosevelt
"Big jobs usually go to the men who prove their ability to outgrow small ones."
Quote by -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."
Quote by -Theodore Roosevelt
"Rhetoric is a poor substitute for action, and we have trusted only to rhetoric. If we are really to be a great nation, we must not merely talk; we must act big."
Quote by -Theodore Roosevelt
"It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. In this life we get nothing save by effort."

"We are face to face with our destiny and we must meet it with a high and resolute courage. For us is the life of action, of strenuous performance of duty; let us live in the harness, striving mightily; let us rather run the risk of wearing out than rusting out."
Quote by -Theodore Roosevelt
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president... is morally treasonable to the American public."

Quote by -Theodore Roosevelt

"There can be no fifty-fifty Americanism in this country. There is room here for only 100% Americanism, only for those who are Americans and nothing else."
Quote by -Theodore Roosevelt
"Order without liberty and liberty without order are equally destructive."
Quote by -Theodore Roosevelt
"Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorius 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."
Quote by -Theodore Roosevelt
"I think there is only one quality worse than hardness of heart and that is softness of head."
Quote by -Theodore Roosevelt
"For unflagging interest and enjoyment, a household of children, if things go reasonably well, certainly all other forms of success and achievement lose their importance by comparison."
Quote by -Theodore Roosevelt
