Theodore Roosevelt

In any situation, the best thing you can do is the right thing; the next best thing you can do is the wrong thing; the worst thing you can do is nothing.

You are a constant. Forever in my mind; forever in my heart. It seems that most matter how much I try I can’t get rid of you. You are a thorn, stuck in deep; painful to remove, and even when I do, still I’ll bleed and feel the soreness. It will take time, but it will heal. No matter the pain, I will still dare to pick roses.

The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn.

If you would lift me up you must be on higher ground.

I hate women because they always know where things are.

A great part of courage is the courage of having done the thing before.

The fortune which nobody sees makes a person happy and unenvied.

Enthusiasm is the leaping lightning, not to be measured by the horse-power of the understanding.

The highest panegyric, therefore, that private virtue can receive, is the praise of servants.

Patience and diligence, like faith, remove mountains.

The hour of departure has arrived and we go our ways; I to die, and you to live. Which is better? Only God knows.

What Englishman will give his mind to politics as long as he can afford to keep a motor car?

If a man is proud of his wealth, he should not be praised until it is known how he employs it.

I have been complimented many times and they always embarrass me; I always feel that they have not said enough.

It is easy to live for others, everybody does. I call on you to live for yourselves.

The fickleness of the women I love is only equalled by the infernal constancy of the women who love me.
