"For
unflagging interest and enjoyment, a household of children...
certainly makes all other forms of success and achievement lose
their importance by comparison."
-Theodore Roosevelt, reflection after exiting the White House
"And as for the children, we spend no
small part of our time in doing our best to prevent them becoming
self-conscious through being talked about. They lead exactly
the lives led by any other six children who live in a roomy
house with a garden and go to school, and are on the whole pretty
good, and are not always good at all."
-Theodore Roosevelt, in a letter to Owen Wister, Wednesday,
November 2, 1901
"You must always remember that the President
is about six."
-Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, Theodore Roosevelt's friend
