| Quote of the moment |
| A man must first care for his own household before he can be of use to the state. But no matter how well he cares for his household, he is not a good citizen unless he also takes thought of the state. In the same way, a great nation must think of its own internal affairs; and yet it cannot substantiate its claim to be a great nation unless it also thinks of its position in the world at large. |
| ~ THEODORE ROOSEVELT, “Nationalism and International Relations,” Social Justice and Popular Rule (vol. 17 of The Works of Theodore Roosevelt, national ed.), chapter 12, p. 108 (1926). ~ |

| In looking back over the college careers of those who for various reasons have been prominent in undergraduate life ... one cannot help noticing that these men have nearly always shown from the start an interest in the lives of their fellow students. A large acquaintance means that many persons are dependent on a man and conversely that he himself is dependent on many. Success necessarily means larger responsibilities, and responsibilities mean many friends. |
| ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945), U.S. president. editorial, Jan. 26, 1904, by FDR, Harvard Crimson. Ted Morgan, FDR: A Biography, pp. 86-87, Simon & Schuster (1985). This was an early manifestation of FDR’s political and social concept that leaders had of necessity to be people who served and made friends with their fellows. To make oneself popular was a part of leadership, as people who liked you followed you. One suspects that this belief underlay Roosevelt’s approach to such things as his Fireside Chats, which allowed the public to think of him as a friend and confidant. ~ |
