'Walk Softly and Carry a Big Stick' are the famous words that accompany President Theodore Roosevelt's Big Stick ideology for foreign policy. The concept includes negotiating peacefully - walking softly - while still threatening with the military - carrying the big stick. Experts generally say that this ideology resembles Machiavellian ideals.
Roosevelt attributed the saying to a West African proverb, but the true origin has been a subject of some dispute. The phrase means to engage in a negotiation peacefully and politely while allowing one's adversary to see that one is prepared to act with force if negotiations fail. In modern culture, the pistol on a police officer's hip does not often need to be drawn to enforce an instruction. The possibility of it being drawn is usually sufficient to obtain compliance.

Speak softly: inform other nations of how you would like them to behave. Carry a big stick: have an overwhelming military advantage, so that your soft words carry an implied threat that is difficult to ignore. If I remember my Junior High history book in the 50's, he was talking about our Navy.
