Theodore Roosevelt actually said...

"Today, for the first time in my life, I have seen the greatest of the oceans; I have come across the continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific; from the East to the West."

"Greatness only comes because the task to be done is great."

"I believe in you with all my heart and soul, and I believe that your future will be even greater than your past."

"I am glad to see what has been done by your beet culture, fruit culture of every kind, irrigation, and tilling of the soil."
