Text Quotes
I believe that there should be a very much heavier progressive tax on very large incomes, a tax which should increase in a very marked fashion for the gigantic incomes (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes)
In the great battle of life, no brilliancy of intellect, no perfection of bodily development, will count when weighed in the balance against the assemblage of virtues, active and passive, of moral qualities which we group together under the name of character (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes)
I am far from underestimating the importance of dividends, but I rank dividends below human character (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes)
Whatever it is, handle it so that your children’s children will get the benefit of it (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes)
No greater wrong can ever be done than to put a good man at the mercy of a bad, while telling him not to defend himself or his fellows; in no way can the success of evil be made surer or quicker (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes)
I do not believe there was ever a life more attractive than life on a cattle farm (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes)
At the risk of repetition let me say again that my plea is not for immunity to, but for the most unsparing exposure of, the politician who betrays his trust, of the big business man who makes or spends his fortune in illegitimate or corrupt ways. There should be a resolute effort to hunt every such man out of the position he has disgraced. Expose the crime, and hunt down the criminal; but remember that even in the case of crime, if it is attacked in sensational, lurid, and untruthful fashion, the attack may do more damage to the public mind than the crime itself (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes)
It is no limitation upon property rights or freedom of contract to require that when men receive from government the privilege of doing business under corporate form... they shall do so under absolutely truthful representations... Great corporations exist only because they were created and safeguarded by our institutions; and it is therefore our right and duty to see that they work in harmony with these institutions (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes)
The men of wealth who today are trying to prevent the regulation and control of their business in the interest of the public by the proper government authorities will not succeed, in my judgment, in checking the progress of the movement. But if they did succeed they would find that they had sown the wind and would surely reap the whirlwind, for they would ultimately provoke the violent excesses which accompany a reform coming by convulsion instead of by steady and natural growth (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes)
Those who oppose all reform will do well to remember that ruin in its worst form is inevitable if our national life brings us nothing better than swollen fortunes for the few and the triumph in both politics and business of a sordid and selfish materialism (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes)
A people without children would face a hopeless future; a country without trees is almost as helpless; forests which are so used that they cannot renew themselves will soon vanish, and with them all their benefits. A true forest is not merely a storehouse full of wood, but, as it were, a factory of wood and at the same time a reservoir of water. When you help to preserve our forests or plant new ones you are acting the part of good citizens (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes)
It pays no matter what comes after it, to try and do things, to accomplish things in this life and not merely to have a soft and pleasant time (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes)
The only tyrannies from which men, women and children are suffering in real life are the tyrannies of minorities (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes)
The one characteristic more essential than any other is foresight... It should be the growing nation with a future which takes the long look ahead (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes)
There are many occasions when the highest praise one can receive is the attack of some given scoundrel (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes)
Great corporations exist only because they are created and safeguarded by our institutions; and it is therefore our right and duty to see that they work in harmony with these institutions (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes)
The dreams of golden glory in the future will not come true unless, high of heart and strong of hand, by our own mighty deeds we make them come true (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes)
From the greatest to the smallest, happiness and usefulness are largely found in the same soul, and the joy of life is won in its deepest and truest sense only by those who have not shirked life’s burdens (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes)
Ruin looks us in the face if we judge a man by his position instead of judging him by his conduct in that position (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes)
We sincerely and earnestly believe in peace; but if peace and justice conflict, we scorn the man who would not stand for justice though the whole world came in arms against him (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes)
Much of the usefulness of any career must lie in the impress that it makes upon, and the lessons that it teaches to, the generations that come after (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes)
Life is as if you were traveling a ridge crest. You have the gulf of inefficiency on one side and the gulf of wickedness on the other, and it helps not to have avoided one gulf if you fall into the other (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes)
The performance of duty, and not an indulgence in vapid ease and vapid pleasure, is all that makes life worth while (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes)
Every child has inside him an aching void for excitement and if we don’t fill it with something which is exciting and interesting and good for him, he will fill it with something which is exciting and interesting and which isn’t good for him (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes)
The sons of all of us will pay in the future if we of the present do not do justice in the present (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes)
In the long run, the most unpleasant truth is a safer companion than a pleasant falsehood (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes)
We can just as little afford to follow the doctrinaires of an extreme individualism as the doctrinaires of an extreme socialism (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes)
Much of the discussion about socialism and individualism is entirely pointless, because of failure to agree on terminology (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes)
Those who advocate total lack of regulation, those who advocate lawlessness in the business world, themselves give the strongest impulse to what I believe would be the deadening movement toward unadulterated state socialism (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes)
What counts in a man or in a nation is not what the man or the nation can do, but what he or it actually does (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes)
