  5. A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

    Occasionally he took us on a picnic or a camping trip and taught us many valuable lessons. The chief one was to remember that camping was a good way to find out people’s characters. Those who were selfish showed it very soon, in that they wanted the best bed or the best food and did not want to do their share of the work.

    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) American politician, diplomat, activist; First Lady of the US (1933–45)
    Memoir (1937), This Is My Story, ch. 2 “Adolescence”

  9. A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

    We of the great modern democracies must strive unceasingly to make our several countries lands in which a poor man who works hard can live comfortably and honestly, and in which a rich man cannot live dishonestly nor in slothful avoidance of duty; and yet we must judge rich man and poor man alike by a standard which rests on conduct and not on caste, and we must frown with the same stern severity on the mean and vicious envy which hates and would plunder a man because he is well off and on the brutal and selfish arrogance which looks down on and exploits the man with whom life has gone hard.

    Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer; US President (1901–09)

  18. A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

    A man who stays long in our American political life, if he has in his soul the generous desire to do effective service for great causes, inevitably grows to regard himself merely as one of many instruments, all of which it may be necessary to use, one at one time, one at another, in achieving the triumph of those causes; and whenever the usefulness of any one has been exhausted, it is to be thrown aside. If such a man is wise, he will gladly do the thing that is next, when the time and the need come together, without asking what the future holds for him. Let the half-god play his part well and manfully, and then be content to draw aside when the god appears. Nor should he feel vain regrets that to another it is given to render greater services and reap a greater reward. Let it be enough for him that he too has served, and that by doing well he has prepared the way for the other man who can do better.

    Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)
    Autobiography, ch. 3 “Practical Politics” (1913)

  26. A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

    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.

  35. A quotation from Theodore Roosevelt

    [… T]he individual virtues, and the necessity of character as the chief factor in any man’s success — a teaching in which I now believe as sincerely as ever, for all the laws that the wit of man can devise will never make a man a worthy citizen unless he has within himself the right stuff, unless he has self-reliance, energy, courage, the power of insisting on his own rights and the sympathy that makes him regardful of the rights of others.

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

  40. A quotation from Theodore Roosevelt

    My duty was to stand with every one while he was right, and to stand against him when he went wrong; and this I have tried to do as regards individuals and as regards groups of individuals. When a business man or labor leader, politician or reformer, is right, I support him; when he goes wrong, I leave him.

    Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)

  45. A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

    One of the worst features of the old spoils system was the ruthless cruelty and brutality it so often bred in the treatment of faithful public servants without political influence. Life is hard enough and cruel enough at best, and this is as true of public service as of private service. Under no system will it be possible to do away with all favoritism and brutality and meanness and malice. But at least we can try to minimize the exhibition of these qualities.

  50. #idiot47 #teddyroosevelt #POTUS #republicans #GOP Teddy was a complicated President. In foreign affairs, he said, “speak softly and carry a big stick.” Idiot47 speaks loudly and carries a small stick (just look at his hands). Teddy, after reading “The Jungle,” a socialist rag, proclaimed “I’ve been poisoned” and supported the creation of the FDA, an agency, among others, that idiot47 has gutted. I don’t think Teddy would approve. In fact, I think he would throw Cadet Bone Spurs to the ground.
