Theodore Roosevelt Quotes

«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.»
«Every immigrant who comes here should be required within five years to learn English or leave the country.»
«The only man who makes no mistakes is the man who never does anything.»
«With self-discipline most anything is possible.»
«Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checked by failure...than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.»
«When you play, play hard; when you work, don't play at all.»
«It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.»
«Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.»
«To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.»
«I care not what others think of what I do, but I care very much about what I think of what I do! That is character!»
