Kontekst: Ordtaket blei ein slags signatur for Roosevelt etter at han hadde brukt det i ein tale han haldt ved Minnesota State Fair:
- «There is a homely adage which runs 'Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.' If the American nation will speak softly and yet build and keep at a pitch of highest training a thoroughly efficient Navy, the Monroe Doctrine will go far.» (1901-09-02)
