罗斯福经典语录八

“Ours is a government of liberty by, through, and under the law.” (Speech at Spokane, WA, May 26, 1903)

罗斯福经典语录十五

“The nation beha ves well if it treats the natural resources as assets which it must turn over to the next generation increased and not impaired in value.” (The New Nationalism, 1910)
