A true forest is not merely a storehouse full of wood, but, as it were, a factory of wood.
Theodore RooseveltAlike for the nation and the individual, the one indispensable requisite is character.
Theodore RooseveltThere can be no life without change, and to be afraid of what is different or unfamiliar is to be afraid of life.
Theodore RooseveltThe true friend of property, the true conservative, is he who insists that property shall be the servant and not the master of the commonwealth; who insists that the creature of manโs making shall be the servant and not the master of the man who made it. The citizens of the United States must effectively control the mighty commercial forces which they have called into being. There can be no effective control of corporations while their political activity remains. To put an end to it will be neither a short nor an easy task, but it can be done.
Theodore RooseveltHere is your country. Cherish these natural wonders, cherish the natural resources, cherish the history and romance as a sacred heritage, for your children and your children's children. Do not let selfish men or greedy interests skin your country of its beauty, its riches or its romance.
Theodore Roosevelt
