More From Theodore Roosevelt

The 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 man’s 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.

...the gross national product does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education or the joy of their play. it does not include the beauty of our poetry or the strength of our marriages, the intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public officials. it measures neither our wit nor our courage, neither our wisdom nor our learning, neither our compassion nor our devotion to our country, it measures everything in short, except that which makes life worthwhile.
Marriage Country Children
At the still point of the turning world. neither flesh nor fleshless; neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is, but neither arrest nor movement. and do not all it fixity, where past and future are gathered. neither movement from nor towards, neither ascent nor decline. except for the point, the still point, there would be no dance, and there is only the dance.
Past Silence Would Be
What i mean by socialism is a condition of society in which there should be neither rich nor poor, neither master nor master's man, neither idle nor overworked, neither brain­slack brain workers, nor heart­sick hand workers, in a word, in which all men would be living in equality of condition, and would manage their affairs unwastefully, and with the full consciousness that harm to one would mean harm to all - the realisation at last of the meaning of the word 'commonwealth.'
