"I have never been in any war, but I have seen a good deal of fighting, and I have heard a good deal about fighting, and I have read a good deal about fighting, and I have thought a good deal about fig…"
"I am not a reformer; I am a conservative."
"The things that will destroy America are prosperity at any price, peace at any price, safety first instead of duty first, and love of soft living and the get-rich-quick theory of life."
"I have always been a man who has been interested in the development of American agriculture, and I have always been a man who has been interested in the development of American manufacturing."
"I have always been a man who has been interested in the promotion of American inventiveness, and I have always been a man who has been interested in the promotion of American ingenuity."
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.
