In two quotes selected from the Theodore Roosevelt Cyclopedia, Theodore Roosevelt expresses his belief about how public officials should act. Public officials, Roosevelt writes, should not hesitate to do their duty out of a fear that it might jeopardize their future. Roosevelt additionally believes in the independence of public officials to stand by their conscience in the execution of their duty, while also recognizing that it is the duty of the public to make sure that public officials are responsible to the people in carrying out their jobs.
