"In this country we have no place for hyphenated Americans."	America
"It behooves every man to remember that the work of the critic is of altogether secondary importance, and that, in the end, progress is accomplished by the man who does things."	Miscellaneous

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."	Miscellaneous

"Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it, you've got to start young."	Age
"Only those who are fit to live do not fear to die. And none are fit to die who have shrunk from the joy of life and the duty of life. Both life and death are parts of the same great adventure."	Life & Death
"Our country offers the most wonderful example of democratic government on a giant scale that the world has ever seen; and the peoples of the world are watching to see whether we succeed or fail."	America
"Speak softly and carry a big stick."	Miscellaneous
"Success, the real success, does not depend upon the position you hold but upon how you carry yourself in that position."	Success
"The American people are slow to wrath, but when their wrath is once kindled it burns like a consuming flame."	America
"The fool who has not sense to discriminate between what is good and what is bad is well nigh as dangerous as the man who does discriminate and yet chooses the bad."	Morality
"The forces that tend for evil are great and terrible, but the forces of truth and love and courage and honesty and generosity and sympathy are also stronger than ever before."	Good & Evil
"The most important single ingredient in the formula of success is knowing how to get along with people."	Success
