Theodore Roosevelt

No greater wrong can ever be done than to put a good man at the mercy of a bad, while telling him not to defend himself or his fellows; in no way can the success of evil be made surer or quicker.

Theodore Roosevelt

No man can lead a public career really worth leading, no man can act with rugged independence in serious crises, nor strike at great abuses, nor afford to make powerful and unscrupulous foes, if he is himself vulnerable in his private character.

Theodore Roosevelt

No man in public position can, under penalty of forfeiting the right to the respect of those whose regard he most values, fail as the opportunity comes to do all that in him lies for peace.

Theodore Roosevelt

No man is above the law and no man is below it; nor do we ask any man’s permission when we require him to obey it. Obedience of the law is demanded; not asked as a favor.

Theodore Roosevelt

No man is justified in doing evil on the ground of expediency.

Theodore Roosevelt

No man who is corrupt, no man who condones corruption in others, can possibly do his duty by the community.

Theodore Roosevelt

No ordinary work done by a man is either as hard or as responsible as the work of a woman who is bringing up a family of small children; for upon her time and strength demands are made not only every hour of the day but often every hour of the night.

Theodore Roosevelt

No people ever yet benefited by riches if their prosperity corrupted their virtue.

Theodore Roosevelt

No people is wholly civilized where a distinction is drawn between stealing an office and stealing a purse.

Theodore Roosevelt

No people on earth have more cause to be thankful than ours, and this is said reverently, in no spirit of boastfulness in our own strength, but with the gratitude to the Giver of good who has blessed us.
