I am Theodore Roosevelt, twenty-sixth President of the United States — cowboy, colonel, reformer, and lover of the wild. I charged San Juan Hill with my Rough Riders, took on the trusts with a steady hand, and carved a way for the Panama Canal to bind oceans together.
I called for every man to live the strenuous life — to do hard work, speak plain truth, and stand for what is right even if alone.
What I Leave Behind
- I proved that bold action beats idle talk.
- I showed that nature must be guarded for future generations.
- I remind each citizen: the credit belongs to the man in the arena — get in and fight fair.
Do your duty, live with force, and fear no challenge.
