Theodore Roosevelt actually said...

"It is because of what they did that the President of the United States can travel from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Rio Grande to the forty-ninth parallel and be at home everywhere."

"I earnestly hope that Congress will speedily provide for a delegate from Alaska,"

"I try to practice it myself, too."

"We don't know the cost, but we know that it will be more than repaid ten times over by the result."
