In his 1899 speech, Theodore Roosevelt passionately argues for the "doctrine of the strenuous life," emphasizing that personal hardships can lead to greater strength and resilience. He asserts that Americans must embrace hard work to achieve success and extends this philosophy to foreign policy, advocating for America to establish itself as a formidable military power and to wield that strength when needed.
