Synopsis

Excerpt from Fear God and Take Your Own Part

Fear God; and take your own part! Fear God, in the true sense Of the word, means love God, respect God, honor God; and all of this can only be done by loving our neighbor, treating him justly and mercifully, and in all ways endeavor ing to protect him from injustice and cruelty; thus obeying, as far as our human frailty will permit, the great and immutable law of right eousness.

About this title

From the Author

“We fear God when we do justice to and demand justice for the men within our own borders. We are false to the teachings of righteousness if we do not do such justice and demand such justice.” “Unless we are thorough going Americans and unless our patriotism is part of the very fiber of our being, we can neither serve God nor take our own part.” “Patriotism should be an integral part of our every feeling at all times, for it is merely another name for those qualities of soul which make a man in peace or in war, by day or by night, think of this duty to his fellows, and of his duty to the nation through which their and his loftiest aspirations must find their fitting expression.”

Theodore Roosevelt

1916

From the Back Cover

Fear God and Take Your Own Part is a collection of articles Theodore Roosevelt wrote, largely for Metropolitan Magazine, some six years after he left the presidency. The title is another way of saying that a nation must have the power and will for self-sacrifice as well as the power and will for self-protection. In the book, Roosevelt, who also wrote extensively on the outdoors, vigorously sets forth the "principles of true Americanism" that still reverberate throughout the nation today.
