Speak Softly and Carry a Big Dick 

One of the most important principles of Big Dick Diplomacy. The term was coined on January 26, 1900 by Theodore Roosevelt when his coworker expressed his frustration of not being able to get laid. Roosevelt proclaimed, "Speak softly and carry a big dick, you will get laid." He took Roosevelt's advice, although it has never been officially confirmed if he got laid.
Coworker: "Why can't I get laid?, I always get rejected."
Roosevelt: "Next time you get rejected try using Big Dick Diplomacy. Speak softly and carry a big dick, you will get laid."
Coworker (5 minutes later): "Thanks for the advice, I just got laid."
Roosevelt: "Awesome, I told you it works."
