(MC) Excerpt, Theodore Roosevelt, Inaugural Address
Saturday, March 4, 1905
My fellow-citizens, no people on earth have more cause to be thankful than ours, and this is said reverently, in no spint of boastfulness in our own strength, but with gratitude to the Giver of Good who has
blessed us with the conditions which have enabled us to achieve so large a measure of well-being and of happiness. To us as a people it has been granted to lay the foundations of our national life in a new
continent. We are the heirs of the ages, and yet we have had to pay few of the penalties which in old countries are exacted by the dead hand of a bygone civilization. We have not been obliged to fight for our
existence against any alien race; and yet our life has called for the vigor and effort without which the manlier and hardier virtues wither away. Under such conditions it would be our own fault if we failed, and the
success which we have had in the past, the success which we confidently believe the future will bring, should cause in us no feeling of vanity), but rather a deep and abiding realization of all which life has
offered us, a full acknowledgment of the responsibility which is ours, and a fixed determination to show that under a free government a mighty people can thrive best, alike as regards the things of the body and
the things of the soul.
Much has been given us, and much will rightfully be expected from us. We have duties to others and duties to ourselves and we can shirk neither. We have become a great nation, forced by the fact of its
greatness into relations with the other nations of the earth, and we must behave as beseems a people with such responsibilities. Toward all other nations, large and small, our attitude must be one of cordial and
sincere friendship. We must show not only in our words, but in our deeds, that we are earnestly desirous of securing their good will by acting toward them in a spirit of just and generous recognition of all their
rights. But justice and generosity in a nation, as in an individual, count most when shown not by the weak but by the strong. While ever careful to refrain from wrongdoing others, we must be no less insistent
that we are not wronged ourselves. We wish peace, but we wish the peace of justice, the peace of righteousness. We wish it because we think it is right and not because we are afraid No weak nation that acts
manfully and justly should ever have cause to fear us, and no strong power should ever be able to single us out as a subject for insolent aggression
Which line from the text explains the author's point about how we should behave toward other countries?
Great nations are responsible for protecting others from the powerful
Power is the only way we can get along with others
We must respect others, but demand respect as well
We should work to create fear in both friends and enemies
