Theodore Roosevelt quotes about

Every reform movement has a lunatic fringe.
justice found findings
Justice consists not in being neutral between right and wrong, but finding out the right and upholding it, wherever found, against the wrong.
perseverance lines foul
Don't foul, don't flinch-hit the line hard.
dream regret age
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.
peace war kind
Wars are, of course, as a rule to be avoided; but they are far better than certain kinds of peace.

No, I'm not a good shot, but I shoot often.
strength peace thorough-knowledge
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.
passion glasses vision
Even in ordinary times there are very few of us who do not see the problems of life as through a glass, darkly; and when the glass is clouded by the murk of furious popular passion, the vision of the best and the bravest is dimmed.
marine men records
...let men express the intense admiration, which I share with all other Americans, of the record made by the Marines.
history environmental generations
The nation behaves well if it treats the natural resources as assets which it must turn over to the next generation increased; and not impaired in value.

It is necessary for the welfare of the nation that men's lives be based on the principles of the Bible. No man, educated or uneducated, can afford to be ignorant of the Bible.
flames wrath people
The American people are slow to wrath, but when their wrath is once kindled it burns like a consuming flame.
bible college men
I enter a most earnest plea that in our hurried and rather bustling life of today we do not lose the hold that our forefathers had on the Bible. I wish to see the Bible study as much a matter of course in the secular colleges as in the seminary. No educated man can afford to be ignorant of the Bible, and no uneducated man can afford to be ignorant of the Bible.
