Description
Roosevelt was intent on turning each of his four boys into a man of action. He once commented that his own father was the greatest man he ever knew. His commitment to being the same example for his sons is evident in the letters he wrote to them, many of which communicated deep truths about manhood, Christianity, and courage.
"With soul of flame and temper of steel we must act as our coolest judgment bids us. We must exercise the largest charity towards the wrong-doer that is compatible with relentless war against the wrong-doing. We must be just to others, generous to others, and yet we must realize that it is a shameful and a wicked thing not to withstand oppression with high heart and ready hand. With gentleness and tenderness there must go dauntless bravery and grim acceptance of labor and hardship and peril. All for each, and each for all, is a good motto; but only on condition that each works with might and main to so maintain himself as not to be a burden to others." -- Teddy Roosevelt
