4. Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt
The 26th President of the United States is one of the important figures with big hearts. He was born of a wealthy family in New York City. In childhood he was known as a sickly kid. In adolescence he never participated in boxing training. He once traveled to Africa and South America to study exotic flora and fauna. The most shocking story was when he made ​​a speech in Milwaukee in 1912. Somebody tried to kill him with a pistol. But the bullets from the gun hit the glasses box. Spontaneously Roosevelt told the crowd that he had just been shot and then continued his speech. He was then taken to hospital after the incident.
