"There is something to be said for..." - Quote by Theodore Roosevelt

“The Welfare of Each of Us Is Dependent Fundamentally Upon the Welfare of All of Us”

“My hat's in the ring. The fight is on and I'm stripped to the buff.”

“A man who is good enough to shed his blood for the country is good enough to be given a square deal afterwards.”

“An elective despotism was not the government we fought for.”

“In the history of mankind many republics have risen, have flourished for a less or greater time, and then have fallen because their citizens lost the power of governing themselves and thereby of governing their state; and in no way has this loss of power been so often and so clearly shown as in the tendency to turn the government into a government primarily for the benefit of one class instead of a government for the benefit of the people as a whole.”

“Freedom of the press is to the machinery of the state what the safety valve is to the steam engine.”

“There is a natural aristocracy among men. The grounds of this are virtue and talents.”

“Aristocracy has a tendency to degenerate the human species.”

“The persons who constitute the natural aristocracy, are not found in the actual aristocracy, or, only on its edge; as the chemicalenergy of the spectrum is found to be greatest just outside of the spectrum.”
