I just finished reading Carry A Big Stick: The Uncommon Heroism of Theodore Roosevelt, by George Grant. I'm reading it with my kids as we study the early twentieth century. We started reading it several years ago and just finished the first part-his biography. I was fascinated with the rest of the book as it analyzes his character and legacy. Over the next few weeks, I will share some of my favorite quotes. Here's my first one:
Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far. It sounds rather as if that were but a homely old adage, yet as is often the case with matters of tradition, this truism is actually true.
