D’autres mots de Theodore Roosevelt
Fais ce que tu peux, avec ce que tu as, là où tu es.
Contexte et précisions
Cette phrase est la plupart du temps attribuée à Théodore Roosevelt.
Elle figure dans son autobiographie ( chapitre IX), mais Roosevelt indique bien son auteur : Bill Widener :
"I often enjoy a story by some living author so much that I write to tell him so—or to tell her so; ... Bill Widener, of Widener's Valley, Virginia, which sums up one's duty in life: "Do what you can, with what you've got, where you are.""
En anglais : "Do what you can, with what you've got, where you are."

Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else.
