Helen Roosevelt

Famous quotes containing the words helen and/or roosevelt:

    I wish I were where Helen lies,
    Night and day on me she cries;
    And I am weary of the skies,
    For her sake that died for me.
    —Unknown. Helen of Kirconnell (l. 37–40)

    One of our defects as a nation is a tendency to use what have been called “weasel words.” When a weasel sucks eggs the meat is sucked out of the egg. If you use a “weasel word” after another there is nothing left of the other.
    —Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)
