Theodore Roosevelt actually said...

"No finally satisfactory result can be expected from merely State action."

"On the other hand, we have the right to expect from the representatives of the people a peculiar care for your interests."

"I am not surprised that you should show those traits, for I should be heartily ashamed of you if you did not."

"It is idle to talk of our faith in the Monroe Doctrine if we are not able to make that faith evident."
