The farmer is a poor creature who skins the land and leaves it worthless to his children. The farmer is a good farmer who, having enabled the land to support himself and to provide for the education of his children, leaves it to them a little better than he found it himself  (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes) We of an older generation can get along with what we have, though with growing hardship; but in your full manhood and womanhood you will want what nature once so bountifully supplied and man so thoughtlessly destroyed; and because of that want you will reproach us, not for what we have used, but for what we have wasted...So any nation which in its youth lives only for the day, reaps without sowing, and consumes without husbanding, must expect the penalty of the prodigal whose labor could with difficulty find him the bare means of life  (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes) Give a man a soccer ball, he plays for a moment. Teach a man to play soccer, he plays for a life time  (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes) Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort. The joy and moral stimulation of work must no longer be forgotten in the mad chase of evanescent profits  (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes) The modern naturalist must realize that in some of its branches his profession, while more than ever a science, has also become an art  (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes) There is nothing brilliant or outstanding in my record, except perhaps this one thing. I do the things I believe ought to be done. And when I make up my mind to do a thing, I act  (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes) In doing your work in the great world, it is a safe plan to follow a rule I once heard on the football field: Don’t flinch, don’t fall; hit the line hard  (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes) When I hear of the destruction of a species, I feel just as if all the works of some great writer have perished  (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes) If there is any one duty which more than another we owe it to our children and our children’s children to perform at once, it is to save the forests of this country, for they constitute the first and most important element in the conservation of the natural resources of this country  (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes) There are no words that can tell the hidden spirit of the wilderness, that can reveal its mystery, its melancholy and its charm. There is a delight in the hardy life of the open... Apart from this, yet mingled with it, is the strong attraction of the silent places, of the large tropic moons, and the splendor of the new stars; where the wanderer sees the awful glory of sunrise and sunset in the wide waste spaces of the earth, unworn of man, and changed only by the slow change of the ages through time everlasting  (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes) We do not admire the man of timid peace. We admire the man who embodies victorious effort; the man who never wrongs his neighbor, who is prompt to help a friend, but who has those virile qualities necessary to win in the stern strife of actual life  (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes) The vice of envy is not only a dangerous, but a mean vice; for it is always a confession of inferiority. It may promote conduct which will be fruitful of wrong to others, and it must cause misery to the man who feels it  (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes) There should be at least ten times the number of rifles in the country as there are now  (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes) I do not intend that our natural resources shall be exploited by the few against the interests of the many  (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes) Wild beasts and birds are by right not the property merely of the people today, but the property of the unborn generations, whose belongings we have no right to squander  (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes) We wish peace, but we wish the peace of justice, the peace of righteousness. We wish it because we think it is right and not because we are afraid  (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes) Yes, my friend, and if you will steal for me then you will steal from me  (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes) Don’t hit at all if you can help it; don’t hit a man if you can possibly avoid it; but if you do hit him, put him to sleep  (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes) To sit home, read one’s favorite paper, and scoff at the misdeeds of the men who do things is easy, but it is markedly ineffective. It is what evil men count upon the good men’s doing  (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes) A soft, easy life is not worth living, if it impairs the fibre of brain and heart and muscle. We must dare to be great; and we must realize that greatness is the fruit of toil and sacrifice and high courage... For us is the life of action, of strenuous performance of duty; let us live in the harness, striving mightily; let us rather run the risk of wearing out than rusting out  (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes) Rough board shelves hold a number of books, without which some of the evenings would be long indeed  (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes) The beauty and charm of the wilderness are his for the asking, for the edges of the wilderness lie close beside the beaten roads of the present travel  (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes) The leader works in the open and the boss in covert. The leader leads, and the boss drives  (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes) The little owls call to each other with tremulous, quavering voices throughout the livelong night, as they sit in the creaking trees  (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes) Now and then we hear the wilder voices of the wilderness, from animals that in the hours of darkness do not fear the neighborhood of man: the coyotes wail like dismal ventriloquists, or the silence may be broken by the snorting and stamping of a deer  (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes) The farther one gets into the wilderness, the greater is the attraction of its lonely freedom  (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes) While my interest in natural history has added very little to my sum of achievement, it has added immeasurably to my sum of enjoyment in life  (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes) A grove of giant redwood or sequoias should be kept just as we keep a great and beautiful cathedral  (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes) There are good men and bad men of all nationalities, creeds and colors; and if this world of ours is ever to become what we hope some day it may become, it must be by the general recognition that the man’s heart and soul, the man’s worth and actions, determine his standing  (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes) It is by no means necessary that a great nation should always stand at the heroic level. But no nation has the root of greatness in it unless in time of need it can rise to the heroic mood  (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes)
