bullet::::- vice president of the united states theodore roosevelt became identified with the words, "speak softly and carry a big stick" at the minnesota state fair in minneapolis. the phrase was not his own invention, as he told his audience that "a good many of you are probably acquainted with the old proverb, 'speak softly and carry a big stick— and you will go far.'" he added that "if a man continually blusters, if he lacks civility, a big stick will not save him from trouble; and neither will speaking softly avail, if back of the softness there does not lie strength, power... if the boaster is not prepared to back up his words, his position becomes absolutely contemptible. so it is with the nation. it is both foolish and undignified to indulge in undue self-glorification, and, above all, in loose-tongued denunciation of other peoples. let us make it evident that we intend to do justice. then let us make it equally evident that we will not tolerate injustice in return." the phrase had been used by roosevelt (as governor of new york) in a 1900 newspaper interview, and he attributed it at time to being a motto "taken from the south african people".
