勤奋生活论1899年4月10日于芝加哥西奥多·罗斯福(1856—1919),美国第26任总统(1901—1909),作家,探险者和军事家。
我不打算宣讲安逸论,我要宣讲勤奋生活论,也就是操劳、勤勉、努力和奋斗的一生我要说,安逸平淡者的一生算不上圆满,只有不畏艰险劳苦终获辉煌胜利的人的一生才算得上成功。
贪图安逸的一生,由于不想或不能成就大事业而平淡无奇的一生,对个人、对民族来说都同样不值。
一生苟且怕事的人我们不佩服。
我们佩服的是经奋斗而成功的人;从来不会对不起邻人、及时向朋友伸援手的人,尤其佩服有阳刚之气经得起实际生活锻炼的人。
失败的滋味固然不好受;从来不愿做成功的尝试却更糟。
生活当中不努力就不会有成就。
现在无需努力只表示过去已经累积了努力成果。
人只有在自己或祖辈努力有成的情况下才有不工作的自由。
如这样得来的自由运用得当,他还在做事,只是做不同的事,是作家或是将军,是从政或寻幽探险,都说明他对得起命运对他的厚爱。
但如果他反以为这段无需工作期不是准备期而正好偷闲,那么他无非也就是这世上的寄生虫,有朝一日又得自食其力时肯定不如人。
安安逸逸的一生说到底算不上充实,对很想在世上有一番严肃作为的人来说尤其不合适。
个人如是,民族亦然。
要说没有历史的民族最轻松愉快可就大错了。
最快活的乃是有光辉灿烂历史的民族。
敢于大胆尝试夺得光辉胜利,即便经历过挫败,也远比与在胜败之间的灰色领域浑浑噩噩过了一辈子既未曾惊喜亦不知苦难的人为伍要强。
如若1861年热爱联邦者以为和平乃上上选、纷战乃下下策,并秉此而行,我们果然能少死千万人,少花千万元。
尤有甚者,非但能省却当时流的血、花的钱,让多少妇女免于丧子丧夫之痛、家破人亡之苦;还可以摆脱我们在军队连连败退时全国上下被暗淡所笼罩的漫长蒙羞岁月。
只要当时对鏖战望而怯步就可以回避这场苦难。
其实,要真是回避了,我们倒成了弱者,没有资格并列世界大国之林。
感谢上帝让我们的祖辈有铁血意志,他们坚持林肯的智慧,与格兰特将军持剑荷枪而战!我们这些当年的志士豪杰之后,促使南北战争胜利结束的英雄的后代,让我们赞美我们先祖的上帝,因为他们拒不同意苟且求全的论调,而勇敢地在痛苦损失、悲痛绝望的情况下卓绝苦战多年;最后奴隶终得解放,联邦得以恢复,强大的美利坚共和国再次可以在国际上昂首挺胸……凡畏缩、疏懒、不相信自己国家的人,谨小慎微丧失了斗志、挺不起腰杆子的人,无知混沌、无法像刚毅有为的人那样被振奋的人,凡是这样的人每见到国家有新的责任当前自然要望而怯步;不愿见到我们有足以应付需要的陆、海军;见到我们的士兵、水手在伟大美丽的热带岛屿上奋勇地撵走西班牙人,’承担起应有的世界责任,化混乱为秩序时也要望而怯步。
Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt (October 27, 1858 – January 6, 1919) was the 26th President of the United States. He is well remembered for his energetic personality, range of interests and achievements, leadership of the Progressive Movement, model of masculinity, and his "cowboy" image. He was a leader of the Republican Party and founder of the short-lived Progressive ("Bull Moose") Party of 1912. Before becoming President (1901–1909) he held offices at the municipal, state, and federal level of government. Roosevelt's achievements as a naturalist, explorer, hunter, author, and soldier are as much a part of his fame as any office he held as a politician.Born to a wealthy family, Roosevelt was an unhealthy child suffering from asthma who stayed at home studying natural history. In response to his physical weakness, he embraced a strenuous life. He attended Harvard, where he boxed and developed an interest in naval affairs. A year out of Harvard, in 1881 he ran for a seat in the state legislature. His first historical book, The Naval War of 1812, published in 1882, established his reputation as a serious historian. After a few years of living in the Badlands, Roosevelt returned to New York City, where he gained fame for fighting police corruption. He was effectively running the US Department of the Navy when the Spanish American War broke out; he resigned and led a small regiment in Cuba known as the Rough Riders, earning himself a nomination for the Medal of Honor (Which was received on the Presidents behalf January 16, 2001). After the war, he returned to New York and was elected Governor; two years later he was nominated for and elected Vice President of the United States.In 1901, President William McKinley was assassinated, and Roosevelt became president at the age of 42, taking office at the youngest age of any U.S. President in history. Roosevelt attempted to move the Republican Party in the direction of Progressivism, including trust busting and increased regulation of businesses. Roosevelt coined the phrase "Square Deal" to describe his domestic agenda, emphasizing that the average citizen would get a fair shake under his policies. As an outdoorsman and naturalist, he promoted the conservation movement. On the world stage, Roosevelt's policies were characterized by his slogan, "Speak softly and carry a big stick". Roosevelt was the force behind the completion of the Panama Canal; he sent out the Great White Fleet to display American power, and henegotiated an end to the Russo-Japanese War, for which he won the Nobel Peace Prize. Roosevelt was the first American to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Roosevelt declined to run for re-election in 1908. After leaving office, he embarked on a safari to Africa and a trip to Europe. On his return to the US, a rift developed between Roosevelt and his anointed successor as President, William Howard Taft. Roosevelt attempted in 1912 to wrest the Republican nomination from Taft, and when he failed, he launched the Bull Moose Party. In the election, Roosevelt became the only third party candidate to come in second place, beating Taft but losing to Woodrow Wilson. After the election, Roosevelt embarked on a major expedition to South America; the river on which he traveled now bears his name. He contracted malaria on the trip, which damaged his health, and he died a few years later, at the age of 60. Roosevelt has consistently been ranked by scholars as one of the greatest U.S. Presidents.Presidency 1901–1909On September 6, President McKinley was shot while at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York. Initial reports in the succeeding days suggested his condition was improving, so Roosevelt embarked on a vacation at Mount Marcy in upstate New York, across the state from Buffalo. He was returning from a climb to the summit on September 13 when a park ranger brought him a telegram informing him that McKinley's condition had deteriorated, and he was near death.Official White House portrait by John Singer SargentRoosevelt and his family immediately departed to go to Buffalo. When they reached the nearest train station at North Creek, at 5:22am on September 14, he received another telegram that McKinley had died a few hours earlier. Roosevelt arrived in Buffalo that afternoon, and was sworn in there as President at 3:30pm. Roosevelt continued McKinley's cabinet and promised to continue McKinley's policies. One of his first notable acts as president was to deliver a 20,000-word address to Congressasking it to curb the power of large corporations (called "trusts"). For his aggressive attacks on trusts over his two terms he has been called a "trust-buster."In the 1904 presidential election, Roosevelt won the presidency in his own right in a landslide victory. His vice president was Charles Fairbanks.Roosevelt dealt with union workers also. In May 1902, United Mine Workers went on strike to get higher pay wages and shorter work days. He set up a fact-finding commission which stopped the strike. It resulted in the workers getting more pay for less hours.In 1905, he issued a corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, which allows the United States to "exercise international policy power" so they can intervene and keep smaller countries on their feet.Roosevelt helped the well-being of people by passing laws such as The Meat Inspection Act of 1906 and The Pure Food and Drug Act. The Meat Inspection Act of 1906 banned misleading labels and preservatives that contained harmful chemicals in them. The Pure Food and Drug Act banned food and drugs, that are impure or falsely labeled, from being made, sold, and shipped.The Gentlemen's Agreement came into play in 1907, banning all school segregation, yet controlling Japanese immigration in California. That same year, Roosevelt signed the proclamation establishing Oklahoma as the 46th state of the Union.Building on McKinley's effective use of the press, Roosevelt made the White House the center of news every day, providing interviews and photo opportunities. After noticing the White House reporters huddled outside in the rain one day, he gave them their own room inside, effectively inventing the presidential press briefing. The grateful press, with unprecedented access to the White House, rewarded Roosevelt with ample coverage.He chose not to run for another term in 1908, and supported William Taft for the presidency, instead of Fairbanks. Fairbanks withdrew from the race, and would later support Taft for re-election against Roosevelt in the 1912 election.西奥多·罗斯福西奥多·罗斯福(Theodore Roosevelt,Jr.,人称老罗斯福,昵称泰迪(Teddy)1858年10月27日—1919年1月6日),美国军事家、政治家,第26任总统(1901-1909)。

然而,哥伦比亚政府对于签署相应协议存在纷争。
西奥多罗斯福决定采取行动,为解决这一问题,推动了巴拿马独立运动,并通过与独立后的巴拿马政府签署《哈约-布恩契维利亚条约》,确保了巴拿马区域的旅行和运输的自由。
四、罗斯福在摩洛哥危机的调停1905年至1906年,法国和德国之间爆发了一场以摩洛哥为中心的危机,引发了欧洲的紧张局势。

The Strenuous Life.(勤奋的生活)Gentlemen,先生们:1. In speaking to you, men of the greatest city of the West, men of the State which gave to the country Lincoln and Grant, men who preeminently and distinctly embody all that is most American in the American character, I wish to preach not the doctrine of ignoble ease but the doctrine of the strenuous life; the life of toil and effort; of labor and strife; to preach that highest form of success which comes not to the man who desires mere easy peace but to the man who does not shrink from danger, from hardship, of from bitter toil, and who out of these wins the splendid ultimate triumph.1、在向你们——西部最大城市的公民,为国家培育了林肯和格兰特的国家的公民,最能体现美国精神的公民—讲话时,我想谈的不是贪图安逸的人生哲学,而是要向你们宣讲勤奋生活论——即过勤奋苦干的生活,过忙碌奋斗的生活。
我想说,成功的最高境界不属于满足安逸的人们,而是属于那些在艰难险阻面前从不畏惧终获辉煌的人们。
2. The timid man, the lazy man, the man who distrusts his country, the overcivilized man, who has lost the great fighting, masterful virtues, the ignorant man and the man of dull mind, whose soul is incapable of feeling the mighty lift that thrills "stem men with empires in their brains"—all these, of course, shrink from seeing the nation undertake its new duties; shrink from seeing us build a navy and army adequate to our needs; shrink from seeing us do our share of the world's work by bringing order out of chaos in the great, fair tropic islands from which the valor of our soldiers and sailors has driven the Spanish flag. These are the men who fear the strenuous life, who fear the only national life which is really worth leading. They believe in that cloistered life which saps the hardy virtues in a nation, as it saps them in the individual; or else they are wedded to that base spirit of gain and greed which recognizes in commercialism the be-all and end-all of national life, instead of realizing that, though an indispensable element, it is after all but one of the many elements that go to make up true national greatness. No country can long endure if its foundations are not laid deep in the material prosperity which comes from hard unsparing effort in the fields of industrial activity; but neither was any nation ever yet truly great if it relied upon material prosperity alone. All honor must be paid to the architects of our material prosperity; to the great captains of industry who have built our factories and our railroads; to the strong men who toil for wealth with brain or hand; for great is the debt of the nation to these and their kind. But our debt is yet greater to the men whose highest type is to be found in a statesman like Lincoln, a soldier like Grant. They showed by their lives that they recognized the law of work, the law of strife; they toiled to win a competence for themselves and those dependent upon them; but they recognized that there were yet other and even loftier duties—duties to the nation and duties to the race.2、凡怯懦、懒惰、不相信祖国的人,谨小慎微丧失坚强斗志的“文明过头”的人、混沌无知的人、思想僵化的人、不能像刚毅有抱负的人那样被鼓舞振奋的人——总之,当看到国家有新的责任要承担,当看到祖国正在建立足以满足需要的海陆军,当看到英勇的士兵和水手在美丽的热带岛屿上驱逐西班牙势力,承担起应尽的世界责任,恢复当地秩序——当看到这一切时,所有这些人都退缩了。

Theodore Roosevelt 西奥多罗斯福The Strenuous Life 勤奋生活论April 10, 1899 1899年4月10日Chicago 芝加哥Gentlemen:In speaking to you, men of the greatest city of the West, men of the State which gave to the country Lincoln and Grant, men who preeminently and distinctly embody all that is most American in the American character, I wish to preach not the doctrine of ignoble ease but the doctrine of the strenuous life; the life of toil and effort; of lavor and strife, to preach that highest form of success which comes not to the man who desires mere easy peace but to the man who does not shrink from danger, from hardship, from bitter toil, and who out of these wins the splendid ultimate triumph.A life of slothful ease, a life of that peace wich springs merely from lack either of desire or of power to strive after great things, is as little worthy of a nation as of an individual.We do not admire theman of timid peace. We admire the man who embodies victorious efforts, the man who never wrongs his neighbor, who is prompt to help a friend, but who has those virile qualities necessary to win in the stern strife of actual life. It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. In this life we get nothing save by effort. Freedon from effort in the present merely means that there has been effort stored up in the past. A man can be freed from the necessity of workonly by the fact that he or his fathers before him have worked to good purpose. If the freedon thus purchased is used aright, and th man sill does actual work, though of a different kind, whether as a writer or a general, wheether in the field of politics or in the field of exploration and adventure, he shows he deserves his good fortune. But if he treats this period of freedon from the need of actual labor as a period, not of preparation, but of mere enjoyment, even though prehaps not of vicious enjoyment, he shows that he is simply a cumberer on the earth’s surface; and he surely unfits himself to hold his owen place with his fellows, if the need to do so should again arise. A mere life of ease is not in the end a very statisfactory life, and , above all, it is a life which ultimately unfits those who follow it for serious work in the word.As it is with the individual so it is with the nation. It is a base untruth to say that happy is the nation that has no history. Thrice happy is the nation that has a glorious history. Far vetter it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, neither enjoy much nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows nither victory nor defeat. If in 1861 the men who loved the Union had believed thathpeace was the end of all things and war and strife a worst of all things, and had acted up to their belief, we would have saved hundreds of thousands of lives, we would have saved hundred of millions of dollars. Moreover, besides saving all the blood and treasure we then lavished, we would have prevented the heratbreak of many women, the dissolution of many homes; and we would have spared the country those months of gloom and shame when it seemed as if our armies marched only to defeat. We would have avoided all this suffering simply by shrinking from strife. And if we had thusavoided it we would have shown that we were weaklings and that we were unfit to stand among the great nations of the erath. Thank God for the iron in the blood of our fathers, the men who upheld the wisdom of Linclon and bore sword or rifle in the armies of Grant! Let us, the children of the men who proved themselves equal to the mighty days —let us, the children of the men of who carried the great Civil War to a triumphant conclusion, praise the God of our fathers that the ignoble counsels of peace were rejected, that the suffering and loss, the blackness of sorrow and despair, were unflinchingly faced and the years of strife endured; for in the end the slave was freed, the Union restored, and the mighty American Republic placed once more as a helmeted queen among nations.The timid man, the lazy man, the man who distrusts his country, the overcivilized man, who has lost the great fighting, masterful virtues, the ignorant man and the man of dull mind, whose soul is incapable of feeling the mighty lift tht thrills “stern men with empires in their brains”—all these, of course, shrink from seeing the nation undertake its new duties; shrink from seeing us build a navy and army adequate to our need; shrink from seeing us do our share of the world’s work by bringing order out of chaos in the great, fair tropic islands from which the valor of our soldiers and sailors has driven the Spanish flag. These are the men who fear the strenuous life, who fear the only national life which is really worth leading. They believe in that cloistered life which saps the hardy virtues in a nation, as it saps them in the individual; or else they are wedded to that vase spirit of gain an dgreed which recognizes in commercialism the be-all and end-all of national life, instead of realizing that, though an indispensable element, it is after all but one of the many elements that go to make up true national greatness. No country can long endure if its foundations are not laid deep in the material prosperity which comes from hard unsparing effort in the fields of industrial activity; but netiher was any nation ever yet truly great if it relied upon material prosperity alone. All honor must be paid to the arcitects of our material prosperity; to the great captains of industry who have built our factories and our railroads; to the strong men who toil for wealth with brain or hand; for great is the debt of the nation to these and their kind. But our debt is yet greater to the men whose highest type is to be found in a statesman like Lincoln, a soldier like Grant. They showed by their lives that they recognized the law of work, the law of strife; they toiled to win a competency for themselves and those depedent upon them; but they recognized that there were yet other and even loftier duties —duties to the nation and duties to the race.I preach to you, then, my countrymen, that our country calls not for the life of ease, but for the life of strenuous endeavor. The twentieth century looms vefore us big with the fate of many nations. If we stand idly by, if we seek merely swollen, slothful ease, and ignoble peace, if we shrink from the hard contests where men must win at hazard of their lives and at the risk of all they hold dear, then the bolder and stronger peoples will pass us by and will win for themselves the domination of the world. Let us therefore boldly face the life of strife, resolute to do our duty ell and manfully; resolute to uphold reghteousness by deed and by word; resolute to be both honest and brave, to serve high ideals, yet to use practical methods. Above all, let us shrink fromno strife, moral or physical, within or without the nation, provided we are certain that the strife is justified; for it is only through strife, through hard and dangerous endeavor, that we shall ultimately win the goal of true national greatness.。
