Theodore Roosevelt actually said...

"We stand on the threshold of a new century."

"You practice what I preach, and I hope I do myself, too."

"But pleased though I am to see your abounding material prosperity, the products of your soil, the thing I am most pleased with is you yourselves, the men and women."

"It has always seemed to me that we should profit by the lessons that they taught, not merely in war, but in peace."
