Theodore Roosevelt actually said...

"The man who does nothing cuts the same sordid figure in the pages of history, whether he be cynic, or fop, or voluptuary."

"The poorest way to face life is to face it with a sneer."

"We are bound in honor to strive to bring ever nearer the day when, as far as is humanly possible, we shall be able to realize the ideal that each man shall have an equal opportunity to show the stuff ..."

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles."
