Quotes by Alice Roosevelt Longworth
Alice Roosevelt Longworth, the spirited daughter of President Theodore Roosevelt, was a prominent socialite and political figure in the early 20th century. Born on February 12, 1884, she defied the conventions of her time with her sharp wit and independent nature. An influential presence in Washington, she cultivated relationships with key political figures while also embracing a rebellious lifestyle. Longworth's legacy endures through her incisive observations on life and politics, encapsulated in her famous quip, “If you can't say something good about someone, sit right here by me.” Her life serves as a testament to the complexity of womanhood and political influence.
