Theodore Roosevelt actually said...

"I envy the man who has a work worth doing and does it well;"

"If a man does his duty he is a good citizen and we should be proud of him."

"I have been astonished and delighted with your extraordinary success in so many different types of industries—mining, agriculture of so many kinds, manufacturing, your wonderful commerce."

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