Theodore Roosevelt Quotes:

Ocupation: 26th U.S. President

Life: October 27, 1858 - January 6, 1919

Birthday: October 27

Death: January 6

But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American and nothing but an American. If he tries to keep segregated with men of his own origin and separated from the rest of America, then he isn't doing his part as an American. There can be no divided allegiance here. . . We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, of American nationality, and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding-house; and we have room for but one soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people.

- Theodore Roosevelt
