Quote of the Day: Teddy Roosevelt Edition

Thursday, June 12

Do what you can, where you are, with what you have, for as long as possible.
Teddy Roosevelt (see right) said that. Although he was a racist (see right), he was fine orator. He also preferred to be called "The Colonel" after retiring from his position in the First U.S. Volunteer Cavalry Regiment. Later, as president, he asked Congress in December 1901 to curb the power of trusts/monopolies "within reasonable limits." His Congress "did not act but Roosevelt did, issuing 44 lawsuits against major corporations." He did things 'imself.
