Until the men of action clear out the talkers we who have so

Summary

This quote, attributed to American journalist and political commentator Theodore Roosevelt, emphasizes the significance of action in creating meaningful change. It suggests that individuals with social consciences, who are concerned about societal issues and injustices, are powerless until they take action. "Talkers," those who merely discuss problems without taking concrete steps to address them, are essentially in control. In order for progress to be made, active individuals need to overpower those who lack social awareness and motivation. This quote emphasizes the importance of actions aligning with one's beliefs and the need for action-oriented individuals to facilitate positive social change.
