“The things that will destroy America
are prosperity at any price,
peace at any price,
safety first instead of duty first
and love of soft living
and the get-rich-quick theory of life.”
~ Theodore Roosevelt
“The establishment of the National Park Service
is justified by considerations of good administration,
of the value of natural beauty as a National asset,
and of the effectiveness of outdoor life
and recreation in the production of good citizenship.”
~ Theodore Roosevelt
“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.”
~ Theodore Roosevelt
“A people without children would face a hopeless future.
A country without trees is almost as helpless.”
~ Theodore Roosevelt
“The only man who never makes mistakes
is the man who never does anything.”
~ Theodore Roosevelt
“Far better it is to dare mighty things,
to win glorious triumphs,
even though checkered by failure,
than to take rank with those poor souls
who neither enjoy much nor suffer much,
because they live in the grey twilight
that knows neither victory nor defeat.”
~ Theodore Roosevelt
“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.”
“No man needs sympathy
because he has to work,
because he has a burden to carry.
Far and away the best prize
that life offers is the chance to
work hard at work worth doing.”
~ Theodore Roosevelt
Thought for the Day
“A vote is like a rifle;
its usefulness depends upon the character
of the user.”
Thought for the Day
“Nobody cares how much you know,
until they know how much you care.”
Thought for Today
The best executive
is the one who has sense enough to pick good men
to do what he wants done,
and self-restraint
to keep from meddling with them while they do it.
