“Over-sentimentality, over-softness, in fact washiness and mushiness are the great dangers of this age and of this people. Unless we keep the barbarian virtues, gaining the civilized ones will be of little avail.” –Theodore Roosevelt

That quote is the foundation for this episode, which is about the foundation for manhood and being good at being a man.

"To be frugal but not have the capacity for opulence isn’t admirable. To be timid, peaceful, and soft, and to not have the capacity to be dangerous, isn’t commendable.

To be good but to not have the ability to be barbaric is useless.

… If you’re a man."
