Theodore Roosevelt actually said...

"Leadership is of avail only so far as there is wise and resolute public sentiment behind it."

"Our homage to-day to the memory of Sherman comes from the depths of our being."

"Their lives teach us to strive after in our own lives, not the thing which is merely pleasant, but the thing which it is our duty to do."

"The life of duty, not the life of mere ease or mere pleasure—that is the kind of life which makes the great man as it makes the great nation."
