GREAT DEMOCRACY
THEODORE ROOSEVELT MAXIMS
The words of President Theodore Roosevelt, engraved on the walls of the entrance hall to the Natural History Museum in New York City, erected in his honour and memory, have peculiar emphasis today. They are: —“Ours is a government of liberty, by, through and under the law.” “A great democracy must be progressive or it will soon cease to be great or a democracy.” “Aggressive fighting for the right is the noblest sport the world affords.” “In popular government results worth having can only be achieved by men who combine worthy ideals with practical good sense.” “If I must choose between righteousness and peace, I choose righteousness.”
