"I do not want to be a professional politician."
"I have always been for the man who is willing to take off his coat and go to work."
"I am a strong believer in the policy of 'a square deal for every man.'"
"Unless we are willing to fight for our ideals, we shall lose them."
"I am not an angel, and I am not a devil. I am a man."
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.
