The Bully Pulpit: A Teddy Roosevelt Book of Quotations

Bully Pulpit is a very good addition to my collection on TR. Transaction was easy and great.

This collection is a sampler of several hundred Teddy Roosevelt quotations. It is a little book, the kind you are more likely to pick up and browse, than read through from beginning to end.The editor has conveniently arranged TR's missives by topic. The reader will find our most energetic president holding forth on politics, foreign affairs, voting, citizenship, family, children, motherhood, Lincoln, virtue, boxing, war, and himself among the categories. In short, this sampling covers many of Roosevelt's incredibly varied interests.Because the topics are so varied, this collection will serve to give those not well aquainted with TR a good taste for the man's energy, passions and world views. For those of us who are TRphiles, this book is a treasure trove, for it calls forth in many ways the truly unique aspects that serve to make Roosevelt perhaps the most "American" of Americans.Also included are books by TR, quotes about him, his thoughts on the Rough Riders as well as his stirring and famous "...In the Arena" speech.An inspiring little tome handsomely presented.

This book is like a: "word for the day" calendar, or a "horoscope of the day" calendar. Since this book is 184 pages; read one quote per day, then start over. BULLY PULPIT is a glimpse of T.R.'S life. It's not as time-consuming as a biography would be...Not since: MORNINGS ON HORSEBACK have I run across a book as interesting as this one.ENJOY!

This book of TR's maxims is a wonderful little reference to have. I keep it in the bathroom for quick reading, and I'm never disappointed!

This will provide all T.R. fans with a quick reference to many quotes by this great man. The topical arrangement allows the reader to get an overview of T.R.'s thoughts on a variety of subjects. The photographs interspersed throughout the book are also a very nice touch. Well Done.
