"For us is the life of action,..." - Quote by Theodore Roosevelt

“Nothing is gained by debate on non-debatable subjects.”

“For those who fight for it life has a flavor the sheltered will never know”

“There should be relentless exposure of and attack upon every evil practice, whether in politics, in business, or in social life. I hail as a benefactor every writer or speaker, every man who, on the platform, or in book, magazine or newspaper, with merciless severity makes such attack, provided always that he in his turn remembers that the attack is of use only if it is absolutely truthful.”

“What we focus on determines how we feel. And how we feel - our state of mind - powerfully influences our actions and interactions.”

“What can be expressed in words can be expressed in life.”

“Vehement writing, even if it is charged with truth, is no answer to violent action.”

“If you want to do your duty properly, you should do just a little more than that.”

“The application requisite to the duties of the office I hold [governor of Virginia] is so excessive, and the execution of them after all so imperfect, that I have determined to retire from it at the close of the present campaign.”

“Everything is un-American that tends either to government by a plutocracy or government by a mob. To divide along the lines of section or caste or creed is un-American. All privileges based on wealth, and all enmity to honest men merely because they are wealthy, are un-American-both of them equally so. The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living and the get-rich-quick theory of life.”
