Best Answer

These were some of Roosevelt's main influences:

  • Abraham Lincoln was a former President Roosevelt admired and wished to emulate.
  • Roosevelt said that his father was the finest man he'd ever known.

Roosevelt read books voraciously - sometimes several a day - and was most certainly the most well-read president the U.S. has ever had, so he had many sources of information at his disposal.

Roosevelt was very greatly shaped by his life experiences. It wasn't as much a matter of other people influencing him as it was the other way around, even as a young man. TR sought adventure and the "strenuous life" at every turn, and was in many regards a self-made man. Theodore Roosevelt greatly admired his father. In politics, his idol was Abraham Lincoln. He read extensively and was able to draw from the breadth and depth of his scholarship and to apply it to any situation.
