Autobiography of Theodore Roosevelt
Autobiography of Theodore Roosevelt | Theodore Roosevelt
8 posts | 4 to read
Theodore Roosevelt was the twenty-sixth President of the United States. A leader of the Republican Party and of the Progressive Party, he was a Governor of New York and a professional historian, naturalist, explorer, hunter, author, and soldier. He was a Progressive reformer who sought to move the dominant Republican Party into the Progressive camp. He distrusted wealthy businessmen and dissolved forty monopolistic corporations as a "trust buster". He was clear, however, to show he did not disagree with trusts and capitalism in principle but was only against corrupt, illegal practices. Roosevelt was a great personality, a great activist, a great preacher of the moralities, a great controversialist, a great showman. He dominated his era.

For those who do not know T. Roosevelt is know as one of the best readers of all our presidents. He read 1 to 3 books DAILY while in office. He said it afforded him in rare moments "complete rest and complete detachment from the fighting of the moment"

When someone you are responsible for is harmed because of your inaction, you mustn‘t let that harm be in vain. Do better. And if you can‘t do better, don‘t make the same mistake twice. Accept that there are others more capable of caring for those who can‘t care for themselves.

But how many of us have work worth doing? Or maybe it is, but not for us? #prize #Quotsy #LitsyQuoteChallenge #QuotsyDec17
