Theodore Roosevelt actually said...

"We have great problems ahead of us as a nation."

"Each talent--the talent for making money, the talent for showing intellect at the bar, or in any other way--if unaccompanied by character, makes the possessor a menace to the community."

"When the weather is good for crops it is good for weeds."

"If when people wax fat they kick, as they have kicked since the days of Jeshurun, they will speedily destroy their own prosperity."
