Theodore Roosevelt actually said...

"An equal meed of praise belongs to those men who prepared in advance."

"Each of us, unless he is contented to be a cumberer of the earth's surface, must strive to do his life-work with his whole heart."

"If he won't try to walk himself he is not worth carrying."

"It is our duty to lift him up; but it is also our duty to remember that there is no earthly use in trying to carry him."
