"The fool who has not sense to..." - Quote by Theodore Roosevelt

“After the war, and until the day of his death, his position on almost every public question was either mischievous or ridiculous, and usually both.”

“If elected, I shall see to it that every man has a square deal, no less and no more.”

“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.”

“Every actual State is corrupt. Good men must not obey the laws too well.”

“If people knew how much ill-feeling unselfishness occasions, it would not be so often recommended from the pulpit.”

“Virtue consists, not in abstaining from vice, but in not desiring it.”

“But tell me, this physician of whom you were just speaking, is he a moneymaker, an earner of fees, or a healer of the sick?”

“The duties are even more important than the rights; and in the long run I think that the reward is ampler and greater for duty well done, than for the insistence upon individual rights.”

“Ability is all right but if it is not backed up by honesty and public confidence you will never be a successful person. The best a man can do is to arrive at the top in his chosen profession. I have always maintained that one profession is deserving of as much honor as another provided it is honorable.”
