More from Theodore Roosevelt
"There were all kinds of things I was afraid of at first, ranging from grizzly bears to 'mean' horses and gun-fighters; but by acting as if I was not afraid I gradually ceased to be afraid."
"I have always been a great believer in the doctrine that the best way to get a thing done is to do it yourself."
"I have never been able to understand why a man should not be proud of his race."
"When I am in the White House, I am the President; when I am in the country, I am a farmer."
"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.
