More from Theodore Roosevelt
"I have always acted on the theory that if you want to get a thing done, you must do it yourself."
"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 am a strong believer in the doctrine of 'the big stick in foreign policy.'"
"I believe that the only way to get a man to do what you want him to do is to make him want to do it."
"I am not an advocate of female suffrage. I believe that these women, when they are good, are good in their homes, and when they are not good, they are not good anywhere."
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.
