Theodore Roosevelt actually said...

"Honor to the statesmen of the past, and may the statesmen of the present strive to live up to the example they set!"

"Officers and men alike must realize that in battle the only shots that count are the shots that hit."

"May we prove ourselves true to them, not merely by paying homage to their memory, but by so shaping the policy of this great Republic as to make it evident that we are not unworthy of our sires."

"Righteousness finds weakness but a poor yoke-fellow."
