Theodore Roosevelt actually said...

"Self-help and individual initiative remain to a peculiar degree typical of life in the country, life on a farm, in the lumbering camp, on a ranch."

"It is our duty to lift him up; but it is also our duty to remember that there is no earthly use in trying to carry him."

"And the best possible safeguard for this nation is an adequate and highly efficient navy."

"The worth of a civilization is the worth of the man at its centre."
