Theodore Roosevelt actually said...

"Constitution, laws,—they are good things, indispensable things, to have right, but you must have the men behind them or they will amount to but little."

"The thing that has impressed me more than anything else in addressing the different audiences is that a good American is a good American in whatever part of this country he lives."

"I want to see the average American citizen be in the future as he has been in the past, a decent man, doing no wrong."

"I understand now."
