More From Theodore Roosevelt

Quality doesn't mean deep blacks and whatever tonal range. that's not quality, that's a kind of quality. the pictures of robert frank might strike someone as being sloppy-the tone range isn't right and things like that-but they're far superior to the pictures of ansel adams with regard to quality, because the quality of ansel adams, if i may say so, is essentially the quality of a postcard. but the quality of robert frank is a quality that has something to do with what he's doing, what his mind is. it's not balancing out the sky to the sand and so forth. it's got to do with intention.

I think there is only one quality worse than hardness of heart and that is softness of head.
Heart Thinking Political
America could carry on a two years' war by the confiscation of the property of disaffected persons, and be made happy by their expulsion. say not that this is revenge, call it rather the soft resentment of a suffering people, who, having no object in view but the good of all, have staked their own all upon a seemingly doubtful event. yet it is folly to argue against determined hardness; eloquence may strike the ear, and the language of sorrow draw forth the tear of compassion, but nothing can reach the heart that is steeled with prejudice.
Revenge War Heart
Who can duly adore that love which will open the high gates to a prodigal who is brought in kicking, struggling, resentful, and darting his eyes in every direction for a chance of escape? the words compelle intrare, compel them to come in, have been so abused by wicked men that we shudder at them; but, properly understood, they plumb the depth of the divine mercy. the hardness of god is kinder than the softness of man, and his compulsion is our liberation.

Similar Quotes
When men are rightly occupied, their amusement grows out of their work, as the colour-petals out of a fruitful flower; when they are faithfully helpful and compassionate, all their emotions become steady, deep, perpetual, and vivifying to the soul as the natural pulse to the body. but now, having no true business, we pour our whole masculine energy into the false business of money-making; and having no true emotion, we must have false emotions dressed up for us to play with, not innocently, as children with dolls, but guiltily and darkly.

As a magnifying glass concentrates the rays of the sun into a little burning knot of heat that can set fire to a dry leaf or a piece of paper, so the mystery of christ in the gospel concentrates the rays of god's light and fire to a point that sets fire to the spirit of man. ... through the glass of his incarnation he concentrates the rays of his divine truth and love upon us so that we feel the burn, and all mystical experience is communicated to men through the man christ.

If the gatherer gathers too-much, nature takes out of the man what she puts into his chest; swells the estate, but kills the owner. nature hates, monopolies and exceptions.
