More from Theodore Roosevelt
"I am an American and not a hyphenated American. I am not an Irish-American, or a German-American, or an English-American, but an American, and nothing else."
"I am not afraid of an honest fight."
"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 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."
"The Jews are a race with many excellent qualities, but they are also a race that produces an exceedingly undesirable citizen."
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.
