I really like that quote. Teddy Roosevelet speaking at the University of Paris in 1910. (thanks to Brin and Page)
Did you just find that through quotation of the day? Somebody needs to invent a 'relevant-quote' search where you can send it text and it spits out quotes that are relevant to the material.
SarahC used it in her (?) argument.
I want to know where and why it was said.
Thomas Paine wrote about atheism during a revolution, Martin Luther nailed his argument to a door of a church.
I voted you up for finding the where, but I still want to know the why.
I don't know the why (I was familiar with it as a stand-alone inspirational quote.)
But for clarity's sake: I am a girl and Sarah is my name.
One can never assume, :)
My question of "why" relates to the idea that there have been so many examples of a rebellion against society (status quo) by groups and individuals.
Some of these examples are successful, most are not, but all seem to act to make "the great mass of humanity through time" change in a common direction.
It's almost as if we have been evolving (?), and each case of rebellion is a sudden mutation....
If only we could figure out what constitutes a successful mutation.
I couldn't find anything online providing a "why". But, based just on the timing, it is something of an announcement that he intends to become active again in Republican politics. Or so it seems.
