Theodore Roosevelt – [Education]
A man who is good enough to shed his blood for his country is good enough to be given a square deal afterwards. More than that no man is entitled to, and less than that no man shall have.

Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.
Theodore Roosevelt – [Work]

Theodore Roosevelt – [Risk]
For unflagging interest and enjoyment, a household of children, if things go reasonably well, certainly all other forms of success and achievement lose their importance by comparison.
Theodore Roosevelt – [Children]
Freedom from effort in the present merely means that there has been effort stored up in the past.

Theodore Roosevelt – [Action]
I am only an average man but, by George, I work harder at it than the average man.
Theodore Roosevelt – [Averages]
I care not what others think of what I do, but I care very much about what I think of what I do! That is character!
Theodore Roosevelt – [Opinions]
I don't pity any man who does hard work worth doing. I admire him. I pity the creature who does not work, at whichever end of the social scale he may regard himself as being.
Theodore Roosevelt – [Unemployment]
I think there is only one quality worse than hardness of heart and that is softness of head.
