But who says Miley is the only one who should find tattoo inspiration in unlikely places? Here are some politicians that should take the cue from the future Mrs. Hemsworth and get some ink of their own … using lyrics from Miley's tracks that we think might have special meaning for them.

Sarah Palin
To all those haters out there: “Who says I can’t be President? I say, I say you ain’t seen nothing yet," from "Who Said."

President Barak Obama
An explanation of why “uh” has never been used more in speeches and interviews ever before: “I stu-stu-studder when you ask me what I’m thinking ‘bout,” from "See You Again."

John Edwards
An ode to Andrew Young : “You’re a true friend, you’re here til the end," from "True Friend."

Actress, singer … political history enthusiast?

Modern day Renaissance woman Miley Cyrus showed off her intellectual side yesterday (June 10) on her way home from Pilates class, debuting a brand-new tattoo inspired by the words of former president Theodore Roosevelt.

(Check it out up close here.)

Situated on the 19-year-old’s left forearm, the new ink reads: "So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." Miley is either an undercover history buff or really adept at using Wikiquote, because the words are a portion of a speech made by President Roosevelt at the Sorbonne, Paris, in 1910.

The future Mrs. Liam Hemsworth isn’t the only one who finds Roosevelt’s words to be particularly meaningful—Richard Nixon was reportedly a fan of the speech as well, quoting it in his 1968 presidential victory speech and again in 1974 when he resigned from office. So, for those who thought Miley Cyrus and Richard Nixon would never appear in the same sentence … gotcha!

The full passage reads:

It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.

Hey, at least she picked something better than “speak softly and carry a big stick.” Miley for President?
