Theodore Roosevelt actually said...

"Best of all it is to have what counts for more than body and more than mind, character—character, into which a good many different elements enter, but these especially."

"I do not have to tell you here that when you get irrigation fairly applied, rain is a poor substitute for it."

"You builded even better than you knew when you saved the country."

"I doubt if there is any State which will profit more by the increase in the application of irrigation to our needs than is the case with the State of Idaho."
