Theodore Roosevelt actually said...

"The poorest way to face life is to face it with a sneer."

"If you will steal for me you will steal from me."

"The good citizen will demand liberty for himself, and as a matter of pride, he will see to it that others receive the liberty which he thus claims as his own."

"The man who does nothing cuts the same sordid figure in the pages of history, whether he be cynic, or fop, or voluptuary."
