In two quotations by Theodore Roosevelt, taken from the Theodore Roosevelt Cyclopedia, Roosevelt discusses public officials. Roosevelt reflects that good public servants will come to feel that they are merely playing a role in the execution of good government, and that they are tools for the nation to use. Roosevelt also comments on differentiating between good and bad public servants, and of honoring individual character rather than honoring the office they hold.
