WIST Quotations @[email protected] · 2026-08-20 · 22:31 UTC

The teaching which I received was genuinely democratic in one way. It was not so democratic in another. I grew into manhood thoroughly imbued with the feeling that a man must be respected for what he made of himself. But I had also, consciously or unconsciously, been taught that socially and industrially pretty much the whole duty of the man lay in thus making the best of himself; that he should be honest in his dealings with others and charitable in the old-fashioned way to the unfortunate; but that it was no part of his business to join with others in trying to make things better for the many by curbing the abnormal and excessive development of individualism in a few.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)
Autobiography, ch. 1 “Boyhood and Youth” (1913)

The Cruelty of Not Intruding

Traveling abroad changed how I saw home. Returning from a family visit, I realized America's greatest deficit may not be economic or political but relational. Our celebration of independence often discourages everyday acts of care, leaving many surrounded by love, yet living with profound loneliness.
