Theodore Roosevelt actually said...

"And the same qualities must be shown in public life if we are to make this country what we will make it—an example to all the nations of mankind."

"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."

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

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