“The most practical kind of politics is the politics of decency.”
— Theodore Roosevelt

Simplified Meaning:
Treating others with kindness and respect is the most practical way to handle political situations. When leaders and citizens behave decently, they create a fair and trustworthy environment where people feel valued and heard. For example, look at Nelson Mandela. He treated everyone with respect, even those who had imprisoned him, which helped heal a divided nation. In everyday life, if you speak politely to others and consider their needs, you'll likely find it easier to cooperate and solve problems together. Being decent doesn’t just make you a nicer person; it builds stronger communities and more effective governments. This approach makes politics work better for everyone.
