Theodore Roosevelt

26th U.S. President (1858-1919)

A man who is good enough to shed his blood for the country is good enough to be given a square deal afterwards.

A typical vice of American politics is the avoidance of saying anything real on real issues. {They haven't changed much then....is it this type of man, and now woman, attracted to the job; or does the job create this type of man and woman.....?}

A vote is like a rifle; its usefulness depends upon the character of the user. {Or guns don't kill people; people kill people.}


Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. {?!?!? Could the conspiracy theorists be correct? Is it the Luminati? The Rothschilds? The Skulls?}

Character, in the long run, is the decisive factor in the life of an individual and of nations alike.

A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education.

{But then he has said}:

A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad.

{Is it cynacism? Experience? If you have character and a thorough knowledge of the Bible you are NOT going to steal the railroad! Or shouldn't be anyway......}

Human kind is such a contradictory, puzzling, conundrum!
