“feel sorry for the country, however, as it shows the power of partisan politicians who think of nothing higher than their own interests, and I feel for your future. We cannot stand so corrupt a government for any great length of time.”

“You will also notice a profound pattern of character traits that take hold early in his life, but later these traits get tempered by tragedy and introspection as Roosevelt learned how to shape events, interpret people, and humble himself. It is clear that Roosevelt was not born the right person for the times but assiduously cultivated the opportunity to become its spokesman. He learned how to lead the individual, which allowed him to lead the country.”

“At Harvard, Teedie obviously did not feel it necessary to temper his odd idiosyncrasies. He made no effort to comply with the culture of indifference prevalent in Harvard society. Instead he chose to act as he wanted to—odd, verbose, energetic, and active—regardless of the deeply rooted cultural norms that surrounded him. This trend would carry throughout his entire life.”
