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."

"Almost all of our great Presidents have been brought up in the country."

"The more one studies the problems of life and of civilization the more one realizes the infinitely greater importance of the man than of his physical surroundings."

"Self-help and individual initiative remain to a peculiar degree typical of life in the country, life on a farm, in the lumbering camp, on a ranch."
