Theodore Roosevelt actually said...

"They did justice as strong men, not as weaklings; and we will show ourselves strong men and not weaklings."

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

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

"And in the names of the mighty men of the past I ask each man here to do his part in seeing that this nation remains true in deed as well as in word to the ideals of the past;"
