More from Theodore Roosevelt
"I have a perfect horror of the man who is always saying, 'I wish I had done so and so.'"
"No nation deserves to exist if it permits itself to lose the virile qualities without which no nation can speak with power, or can command respect in the councils of the world."
"The Jews are a race with many excellent qualities, but they are also a race that produces an exceedingly undesirable citizen."
"I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well."
"I have always been a man who has been interested in the welfare of the common man, and I have always been a man who has been interested in the welfare of the working man."
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.
