Program Description
Adam Lindquist speaks as Teddy Roosevelt, discussing topics of importance both to the 26th President and Lindquist himself: the importance of conservation and a love of the outdoors, the importance of character, developing determination with acceptance that success is not guaranteed but that failure is never permanent, and maintaining a vision of a productive and positive future for ourselves and others.
"On Sep. 2, 1901, Vice President Teddy Roosevelt spoke before thousands [at the Minnesota State Fair] and delivered a now-famous quote: “Speak softly and carry a big stick.” A few days after the speech, President William McKinley was assassinated and Roosevelt became president.
'It’s something that was forever attached to his presidency,” Brian Pease with the Minnesota Historical Society said, “Even today that’s what he’s known for, that saying.' " -- from March 11, 2024, KSTP Eyewitness News https://kstp.com/
