All THEODORE ROOSEVELT Quotes about “Guns”

“The great body of our citizens shoot less as times goes on. We should encourage rifle practice among schoolboys, and indeed among all classes, as well as in the military services by every means in our power. Thus, and not otherwise, may we be able to assist in preserving peace in the world... The first step â€“ in the direction of preparation to avert war if possible, and to be fit for war if it should come â€“ is to teach men to shoot!”
“The truth is that any good modern rifle is good enough. The determining factor is the man behind the gun.”
“Such an experiment without actual conditions of war to support it is a foolish waste of time. . . . I once saw a man kill a lion with a 30-30 caliber rifle under certain conditions, but that doesn't mean that a 30-30 rifle is a lion gun.”
“Our surest protection against assault from abroad has been not all our guards, gates and guns, or even our two oceans, but our essential goodness as a people. Our richest asset has been not our material wealth but our values.”
