Sayings of Theodore Roosevelt
  • Let us remember that, as much has been given us,
    much will be expected from us, and that true
    homage comes from the heart as well from the
    lips, and shows itself in deeds.
  • Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the
    ground.
  • The best executive is the one who has sense
    enough to pick good men to do what he wants done,
    and self restraint enough to keep from meddling
    with them while they do it.
  • People ask the difference between a leader and a
    boss. The leader works in the open and the boss
    in convert. The leader leads and the boss drives.
  • Character, in the long run, is the decisive
    factor in the life of an individual and of
    nations alike.
  • No man needs sympthy because he has to do work.
    Far and away the best prize that life offers is
    the chance to work hard and worth doing.
  • Dont hit at all if it is honorably possible to
    avoid hitting but never hit soft.
