Teddy Roosevelt
1858 - 1919
The 26th President of the United States
________________
"Believe you can and you're halfway there."
"Courtesy is as much a mark of a gentleman as courage."
"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."
"Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the
chance to work hard at work worth doing."
"A typical vice of American politics is the avoidance of
saying anything real on real issues."
"Great thoughts speak only to the thoughtful mind, but great
actions speak to all mankind.
"I am a part of everything that I have read."
"I am only an average man but, by George, I work harder at it
than the average man."
"If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for
most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month."
"In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the
right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you
can do is nothing."
"It is only through labor and painful effort, by grim energy
and resolute courage, that we move on to better things."
"Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground."
"Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you
care."
"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."
"Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far."
"The only man who never makes a mistake is the man who never
does anything."
"The only time you really live fully is from thirty to sixty.
The young are slaves to dreams; the old servants of regrets. Only the
middle-aged have all their five senses in the keeping of their wits."
"There has never yet been a man in our history who led a life
of ease whose name is worth remembering."
"When you play, play hard; when you work, don't play at all."
