Theodore Roosevelt actually said...

"Leadership is necessary in order that we may get really good results out of a high average of individual character."

"Moreover, it is a peculiar pleasure to speak today under the auspices of the Army and Navy Union."

"He must be able to handle himself and to handle the formidable and delicate mechanism intrusted to his care."

"The first duty of a leader, civil or military, is to lead; and he must lead well."
