No. The saying is...
"Speak softly and carry a big stick."
It means do not intend to offend, but expect that others will still take offense anyhow.

It's "walk softly and carry a big stick" and it was Teddy, not Franklin. He was referring to his version of foreign policy.

The correct phrase is "Speak softly but carry a big stick." Means be passive aggressive. In other words, Don't seek out trouble (conflicts, aggression, war) but don't back down if trouble finds you.

it means you don't have to brag (by speaking loudly), you just have to bring the pain when it is called for (carry a big stick--to hit people with)
