Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt
There can be no effective control of corporations while their political activity remains.
Theodore Roosevelt
Every reform movement has a lunatic fringe.
Theodore Roosevelt
In foreign affairs we must make up our minds that whether we wish it or not, we are a great people and must play a great part in the world. It is not open to us to choose whether we will play that great part or not.
Theodore Roosevelt
