The White House is a bully pulpit.

I do not dislike but I certainly have no especial respect or admiration for and no trust in, the typical big moneyed men of my country. I do not regard them as furnishing sound opinion as respects either foreign or domestic business.

It is not the critic who counts

It is only the warlike power of a civilized people that can give peace to the world.

The most successful politician is he who says what the people are thinking most often in the loudest voice.

Freedom from effort in the present merely means that there has been effort stored up in the past.

Never hit if you can help it, but when you have to, hit hard. Never hit soft. You'll never get any thanks for hitting soft.
