Theodore Roosevelt actually said...

"I feel that the art of successful government in our country is the art of applying practically the every day principles of decency, morality and common sense."

"You men who fought in that war did the greatest deed which men have ever done."

"The man who lives simply, and justly, and honor ably, whether rich or poor, is a good citizen."

"It is our duty to lift him up; but it is also our duty to remember that there is no earthly use in trying to carry him."
