Kaiser Wilhelm II letter to President Theodore Roosevelt
Your unlimited power for work, dauntless energy of purpose, pureness of motives moving towards the highest ideals, this all crowned by an iron will, form qualities which elicit the highest admiration from everybody over here. They are the characteristics of a
"man," and as such most sympathetic to me. The 20th century is sadly in want of men of your stamp at the head of great nations.... Thank Heaven, the Anglo-Saxon Germanic Race is still able to produce such a spe-cimen. You must accept it as a fact that your figure has moved to the foreground of the world, and that men's minds are intensely occupied by you.
