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)

🧿 𝑳𝒂 𝒉𝒊𝒋𝒂 𝒓𝒆𝒃𝒆𝒍𝒅𝒆 𝒅𝒆 𝑹𝒐𝒐𝒔𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒕 🧿
Alice Roosevelt nació el 12 de febrero de 1884 con una tragedia que marcaría para siempre a su familia.
Su madre, Alice Hathaway Lee, murió apenas dos días después de dar a luz por una insuficiencia renal que entonces los médicos no supieron tratar.
Lo más cruel es que, ese mismo día, también falleció la madre de Theodore Roosevelt.El futuro presidente quedó completamente destrozado.
En su diario solo escribió una gran X negra ocupando toda la página y una frase: *"La luz se ha ido de mi vida."*
Durante años evitó pronunciar el nombre de su primera esposa y dejó a la pequeña Alice al cuidado de su hermana, Bamie, mientras él se marchaba una temporada al oeste de Estados Unidos intentando rehacer su vida.Pero si alguien esperaba que aquella niña creciera siendo discreta, se equivocó de lleno.
Cuando Theodore Roosevelt llegó a la Casa Blanca en 1901, Alice, con solo 17 años, se convirtió en la joven más famosa de Estados Unidos.
Hoy probablemente la llamaríamos una influencer antes de que existieran las redes sociales.
La prensa seguía cada uno de sus movimientos y cualquier cosa que hacía acababa en los periódicos.Y motivos no faltaban.
Fumaba en público cuando aquello era un escándalo para una mujer.
Conducía automóviles a gran velocidad, apostaba en las carreras de caballos, montaba a caballo sin preocuparse por el protocolo y llevaba en el bolso una pequeña serpiente llamada **Emily Spinach**.
Decía que se llamaba así porque era "verde como la espinaca y delgada como mi tía Emily".Tampoco tenía pelos en la lengua.
Si alguien le caía mal, lo decía.
Si una norma le parecía absurda, la rompía.
Y cuanto más intentaban controlarla, más parecía disfrutar llevando la contraria.En 1905 acompañó una importante delegación diplomática por Asia, visitando Japón, Filipinas, China y Corea.
Oficialmente era un viaje político, pero los titulares acabaron siendo para ella.
Nadó completamente vestida en una piscina pública, gastó bromas a diplomáticos, hizo comentarios provocadores y se saltó más de un protocolo.
Era imposible no hablar de Alice Roosevelt.Su padre acabó resignándose y pronunció una frase que ha pasado a la historia:
*"Puedo ser presidente de Estados Unidos o controlar a Alice.
No puedo hacer las dos cosas."*En 1906 se casó con **Nicholas Longworth**, uno de los políticos republicanos más importantes de la época y futuro presidente de la Cámara de Representantes.
Sin embargo, el matrimonio fue todo menos convencional.
Ambos tuvieron relaciones extramatrimoniales y en Washington era un secreto a voces que la única hija de Alice, Paulina, probablemente no era de su marido, sino del senador **William Borah**.Lejos de esconderse, Alice siguió siendo una de las mujeres más influyentes de la capital.
Su casa era un lugar de reunión donde se mezclaban presidentes, congresistas, periodistas, diplomáticos y empresarios.
Allí se hablaba de política, de elecciones, de guerras... y también de todos los chismes imaginables.Tenía un ingenio demoledor.
Una de sus frases más famosas iba dirigida al presidente **Calvin Coolidge**:*"Parece que lo hubieran destetado con un pepinillo."*
Y de otro político dijo simplemente:
*"Es un hombre que habla con frases entre comas."*
En su salón tenía incluso un cojín bordado con una frase que resumía bastante bien su personalidad:
**"Si no puedes decir algo bueno de alguien... siéntate aquí a mi lado."**
Vivió nada menos que **96 años**.
Le dio tiempo a conocer a once presidentes de Estados Unidos, desde su propio padre hasta **Jimmy Carter**.
Vio dos guerras mundiales, la Gran Depresión, el nacimiento de la televisión, la llegada del hombre a la Luna y buena parte de la Guerra Fría.Nunca ocupó un cargo político.
Nunca fue elegida para ningún puesto.
Y, sin embargo, durante décadas fue una de las personas más influyentes y mejor informadas de Washington.
Alice Roosevelt demostró que, a veces, el poder no necesita un despacho ni un cargo oficial.
Basta con una inteligencia afilada, una lengua aún más afilada... y el valor de no comportarse como todo el mundo esperaba.
📌 Y un dato curioso: en la Casa Blanca hubo tanto revuelo con Alice que los periódicos llegaron a hablar de "Alice Blue", un tono de azul claro inspirado en el color de uno de sus vestidos.
Se puso tan de moda que tiendas de todo Estados Unidos empezaron a vender ropa y complementos con ese nombre.
No era solo famosa: marcaba tendencia, algo muy poco habitual para una mujer de principios del siglo XX.▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣

A quotation from Theodore Roosevelt
I abhor unjust war. I abhor injustice and bullying by the strong at the expense of the weak, whether among nations or individuals. I abhor violence and bloodshed. I believe that war should never be resorted to when, or so long as, it is honorably possible to avoid it. I respect all men and women who from high motives and with sanity and self-respect do all they can to avert war. I advocate preparation for war in order to avert war; and I should never advocate war unless it were the only alternative to dishonor.

A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt
There were all kinds of things of which I was afraid at first, from grizzly bears to “mean” horses and gunfighters, but by acting as if I was not afraid, I gradually ceased to be afraid.

A quotation from Theodore Roosevelt
The idea that our natural resources were inexhaustible still obtained, and there was as yet no real knowledge of their extent and condition. The relation of the conservation of natural resources to the problems of National welfare and National efficiency had not yet dawned on the public mind. The reclamation of arid public lands in the West was still a matter for private enterprise alone; and our magnificent river system, with its superb possibilities for public usefulness, was dealt with by the National Government not as a unit, but as a disconnected series of pork-barrel problems, whose only real interest was in their effect on the reëlection or defeat of a Congressman here and there — a theory which, I regret to say, still obtains.

A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt
I wish to preach, not the doctrine of ignoble ease, but the doctrine of the strenuous life. The life of toil and effort, of labor and strife; to preach that highest form of success which comes, not to the man who desires mere easy peace, but to the man who does not shrink from danger, from hardship or from bitter toil, and who out of these wins the splendid ultimate triumph.

It is hard to fail but worse never to have tried to succeed.
-- Theodore Roosevelt
