"I do. That is character!..." - Quote by Theodore Roosevelt

“No other President ever enjoyed the Presidency as I did.”

“We despise and abhor the bully, the brawler, the oppressor, whether in private or public life, but we despise no less the coward and the voluptuary. No man is worth calling a man who will not fight rather than submit to infamy or see those that are dear to him suffer wrong.”

“I hate a man who skins the land.”

“Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.”

“The style is the man. Rather say the style is the way the man takes himself; and to be at all charming or even bearable, the way is almost rigidly prescribed. If it is with outer seriousness, it must be with inner humor. If it is with outer humor, it must be with inner seriousness. No other way will do.”

“In the meanest are all the materials of manhood, only they are not rightly disposed.”

“You do not sing because you're happy, you're happy because you sing.”

“Perhaps we're too embarrassed to change or too frightened of the consequences of showing that we actually care. But why not risk it anyway? Begin today. Carry out a random act of seemingly senseless kindness, with no expectation of reward or punishment, safe in the knowledge that one day, someone somewhere might do the same for you.”

“If you want to learn to swim you have to throw yourself in the water.”
