U.S. President Teddy Roosevelt is quoted as describing his foreign policy this way: "Speak softly and carry a big stick. You will go far." Throughout history, warriors have served as the metaphorical big sticks Teddy was referring to. It is also said, "A true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him."
