More From Theodore Roosevelt

The real difficulty is with the vast wealth and power in the hands of the few and the unscrupulous who represent or control capital. hundreds of laws of congress and the state legislatures are in the interest of these men and against the interests of workingmen. these need to be exposed and repealed. all laws on corporations, on taxation, on trusts, wills, descent, and the like, need examination and extensive change. this is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people no longer. it is a government of corporations, by corporations, and for corporations.

Wherever snow falls, or water flows, or birds fly, wherever day and night meet in twilight, wherever the blue heaven is hung by clouds, or sown with stars, wherever are forms with transparent boundaries, wherever are outlets into celestial space, wherever is danger, and awe, and love, there is beauty, plenteous as rain, shed for thee, and though thou shouldest walk the world over, thou shalt not be able to find a condition inopportune or ignoble.

If you start with the presumptions that liberals do, that corporations are evil and it all descends from that and that government is great and that government's there to make sure corporations play fair and are not mean and do not rip people off, there's a little bit of truth in everything. some corporations are bad, some corporations have done bad things, but as a general rule, it's dangerous to subscribe to things like that.
Rip Mean People
I am not bound to win, but i am bound to be true. i am not bound to succeed, but i am bound to live up to the light i have. i must stand with anybody that stands right - stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong.

I learned from my illiterate but wise mother that all rights to be deserved and preserved came from duty well done. thus the very right to live accrues to us only when we do the duty of citizenship of the world. from this one fundamental statement, perhaps it is easy enough to define the duties of man and woman and correlate every right to some corresponding duty to be first performed. every other right can be shown to be a usurpation hardly worth fighting for.

America is a large country and its people have so far not shown much interest in great international problems, among which the problem of disarmament occupies first place today. this must be changed, if only in america's own interest. the last war has shown that there are no longer any barriers between the continents and that the destinies of all countries are closely interwoven. the people of this country must realize that they have a great responsibility in the sphere of international politics. the part of passive spectator is unworthy of this country and is bound in the end to lead to disaster all round.

There is probably no country so barbarous that would not disclose all it knew, if it received equivalent information; and i am apt to think that a person who was ready to give more knowledge than he received would be welcome wherever he came.

I've always said i can't tell sometimes that people even have an album out until i see them nominated for a grammy. i think country gets dumped on across the board by the grammys.
Country Thinking People
In a moment when the outcome of our revolution was most in doubt the father of our nation ordered these words be read to the people. let it be told to the future world that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive, that the city and the country alarmed at one common danger came forth to meet it.

I find china such a fascinating and interesting country. each time i come back something has changed and it's moved on in leaps and bounds.
