Theodore Roosevelt actually said...

"Perhaps the father of a number of children can be excused for saying that of all the classes of our country I think the school teacher deserves a little the best of all of us."

"The courts would retain, no matter what the legislature did, the power to interfere and upset any action that was confiscatory in its nature."

"I shall strive to appoint and retain men who will do exactly the same justice to the railroad as they will exact from the railroad."

"I have accepted your kind and generous invitation to come before you this evening."
