Theodore Roosevelt actually said...

"When it comes to rendering service, that which counts chiefly with a college graduate, as with any other American citizen, is not intellect so much as what stands above mere power of body, or mere pow..."

"The only first-rate work is the work done by the man who does it for the sake of doing it well, who counts the deed itself as his reward."

"If a man is strong in mind and body and misuses his strength then he becomes simply a foe to the body politic, to be hunted down by all decent men."

"Not one in a hundred of us is fit to be in the highest sense a productive scholar, but all of us are entirely fit to do decent service if we care to take the pains."
