"I believe in the Square Deal. I believe in fair play. I believe in a square deal for every man, big or small, rich or poor, white or black."
"I don't go so far as to think that the only good Indians are dead Indians, but I believe nine out of every ten are."
"I have never been a man who has been afraid to speak his mind, and I have never been a man who has been afraid to do what he thought was right."
"There were all kinds of things I was afraid of at first, ranging from grizzly bears to 'mean' horses and gun-fighters; but by acting as if I was not afraid I gradually ceased to be afraid."
"I am a strong believer in the doctrine of 'the New Nationalism.'"
About Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919)
26th US President (1901-1909), Progressive trust-buster, conservation pioneer, and the youngest person to assume the presidency (after McKinley's assassination). Closely associated with William Howard Taft (his hand-picked successor and later 1912 election rival) and Gifford Pinchot (his Forest Service chief and conservation co-architect). For an intellectual contrast, see J.P. Morgan, financier and architect of Northern Securities (1837-1913) — TR's 1902 antitrust suit against Morgan's Northern Securities railroad combination was the founding act of progressive antitrust enforcement. Their famous 1902 White House meeting — where Morgan reportedly said 'send your man to my man' and TR refused — is the canonical moment of presidential authority asserting over private financial power.
