Theodore Roosevelt actually said...

"One thing that strikes me more than anything else as I go through the country."

"I have felt that the events of the last five or six years have been steadily hastening the day when the Pacific will loom in the world's commerce as the Atlantic now looms."

"I think our citizens are more and more realizing that they wish to perpetuate the things that are of use and also the things that are of beauty."

"I am glad to see you, I believe in you, and I thank you."
