More from Theodore Roosevelt
"I have always been fond of the West and its people, and I have always felt that the true American spirit was to be found there."
"I have always been a man who has believed in the importance of outdoor life, and I have always been a man who has believed in the importance of physical fitness."
"I have a perfect horror of the man who is always trying to get something for nothing."
"I have never been able to understand why the man who works with his hands should be regarded as less worthy of respect than the man who works with his head."
"The proper time to do a thing is when it has to be done, and the proper way to do it is to do it right."
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.
