Theodore Roosevelt actually said...

"No greater work can be done by a philanthropic or religious society than to stretch out the helping hand to the man and the woman who come here to this country to become citizens."

"Be ye doers of the Word and not hearers only."

"Nobody can help others if he begins by being a burden to others."

"The benefit to the United States will consist chiefly in the tendency under the treaty to secure stability, order, and prosperity in Santo Domingo."
