Theodore Roosevelt actually said...

"The man who is content to go through life owing his alma mater for an education for which he has made no adequate return is not true to the ideals of American citizenship."

"Years count differently at different places and at different times."

"I do not wish us ever as a nation to take a position from which we have to retreat."

"Out of and from each we have gained something for our national character; to each we owe something special for what it has contributed to us as a people."
