Theodore Roosevelt actually said...

"Applications for discharges which reach the department except through the commanding officers of vessels shall be without exception disregarded."

"In every case, the recommendation for such discharge must be made by the commanding officer of the vessel on which the man may be serving."

"The reward of the consciousness of duty well done."

"Justice which means that each man, rich or poor, big or small, strong or weak, shall have his rights, and shall not be allowed to do wrong to his fellows."
