"We
have a record of conquest, colonization and expansion unequalled by
any people in the 19th century...we are not to be curbed now. For the
sake of our commercial prosperity we ought to seize the Hawaiian islands now." - Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
"Whether
the whites won the land by treaty, by armed conquest, or
both...mattered little so long as the land was won...all men of sane
and wholesome thought must dismiss with contempt the plea that these continents
should be reserved for the use of a few scattered savages whose life
was a few degrees less meaningless, squalid, and ferocious than that of
the wild beasts." Theodore Roosevelt
"Democracy has justified itself by keeping for the white race the best portion's of the earth's surface." Theodore Roosevelt
