Wisdom Quote by Theodore Roosevelt — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“The joy in life is his who has the heart to demand it.”

“Believe you can and you're halfway there.”

“Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.”

“The only man who never makes mistakes is the man who never does anything.”

“Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground.”

“The truth is always something that is told, not something that is known. If there were no speaking or writing, there would be no truth about anything. There would only be what is.”

“It seems that a profound, impartial, and absolutely just opinion of our fellow-creatures is utterly unknown. Either we are men, or we are women. Either we are cold, or we are sentimental. Either we are young, or growing old. In any case life is but a procession of shadows, and God knows why it is that we embrace them so eagerly, and see them depart with such anguish, being shadows. And why, if this -- and much more than this is true -- why are we yet surprised in the window corner by a sudden vision that the young man in the chair is of all things in the world the most real, the most solid, the best known to us--why indeed? For the moment after we know nothing about him.”

“Healing doesn’t begin when the cup is finally full, but when it is finally set down.”

“Know well what leads you forward and what holds you back, and choose the path that leads to wisdom.”
