Striking Sayings By Col. Roese-
welt Called From His Many
Speeches.

Speeches.
Theodore Roosevelt's public utter
ances were marked by striking SEN
fences. Below are some of the most
striking:
"Sentimentatility is the most broken
reed on which righteousness can lean"
Il have no use for an ideal so lofty
that it can be taken out on Sunday
TO admire, and must be kept in cotton
wool the remainder of the week"
in the long run the fig tree is
judged by the fact that it produces
figs and not thistles."
1T is idle to raise man unless the
woman is raised at the same time"
a practical man without ideals is
curse, and the greater his ability the
greater a curse he is"
Beware of the man who does not
translate his words into deeds"
Countries must be strong in order
to be good and to help the weak
against the overbearing.'
THE man who does nothing cuts,
the same sordid figure in the pages
of history, whether he be cynic, or
flop, or voluptuary"
There is little use for the being
whose tepid soul knows nothing of
the great and generous emotion, of
the high pride, the stern belief, the
lofty enthusiasm of the men who quell
the storm and ride the thunder"
at is the warworn Hotspur spent
with hard fighting, he of the many
errors and the valiant end, over whose
memory we love to linger, not over
the memory of the young lord who,
but for the vile guns would have
been a soldier"
1T is a bad thing for nation to
raise and to admire false standard of
success, and there can be no falser
standard than that set by dedication
OF material well-being in and for it
self"
,"The first essential in any civiliZa-
tion is that the man and the woman
shall be father and mother of healthy
children so that the race shall in
crease and not decrease"
When it clearly appears that there
is real conflict between them, human
rights must ha We the upper hand, for
property belong to man and not man
to property.
Virtue which is dependent upon a
sluggish circulation is not impress
sive."
1.-The good citizen is not a good cit
izen unless he is an efficient citizen"
IF mans efficiency is not guided
and regulated by moral sense, then
the more efficient he is the worse he
isl
Courage, intellect, all the master
full qualities, serve but to make a man
more evil If they are used merely for
that mans own advancement, with
brutal indifference to the rights of
others"
I'VE can just as little afford to fol-
low the doctrinaires of an extreme in
dividualism as the doctrinaires of an
extreme socialism
ITO say that the thriftless, the lazy,
the vicious, the incapable ought to
have tn ereward given to those who
are farsighted, capable and upright is
to say what is not true and cannot be
true
"The good citizen will demand lib
erty for himself, and as a matter of
pride he will see to it that others re-
ceive the liberty he thus claims for
himself"
...The oyerbearing brutality of the
man of wealth or power and the en-
vious and hateful malice directed
against wealth and power are really
at root merely different manifesto
tions of the same quality"
Ruin looks US in the face if we
judge a man by his position instead
of judging him by his conduct in that
position"
There is no greater need today
than the need to keep ever in mind
the fact that the cleavage between
right and wrong, between good citi-
zenship. runs at right angles to and
not parallel with the lines of cleav-
age between class and class, between
occupation and occupation.
