Theodore Roosevelt actually said...

The Civil War has left you as a heritage of honor not merely the memory of mighty deeds done in it.

If he will do something that is not exactly straight for your advantage, he will do it quicker for his own advantage.

All that he could do in that war was to do his part well, to do all that lay in him well.

If you are half as glad to have me as I am to be here we will call it square.
