Quotations is about words, written and spoken throughout history. Words speak to us through our eyes and our ears. They enrich our lives, allow us to communicate thoughts to others, and sometimes, last for generations. This podcast explores not only the words, but the speaker, author, figure, or character who originated them. To whom were they said or written? What was their intended effect and on whom? What was the originator thinking? Find out each episode and we discover new quotations, some familiar, some not!

Teddy Roosevelt ascended to the highest office in the land as the youngest man to ever do so. He didn't achieve such heights by accident. He achieved them through strength of character. Character is what allowed him to take on Standard Oil's monopoly and win. It drove him to establish the National Park system which we all enjoy today. And it kept his compass correctly oriented in the face of unending special interests.
It is for this reason that Roosevelt said, so accurately, that above all others attributes is character.
