Someone I know tried to give a training session in Portuguese to a group of missionaries based on Roosevelt's quote, 'speak softly and carry a big stick.' It seemed like a great idea until I translated it literally and ended up saying something vulgar to a group of about 20 people. I'm probably the smartest person I know.

No question in my mind that Teddy has universal appeal.
