Theodore Roosevelt actually said...

"I wish to take this opportunity of thanking the men who work in the Navy Yard for the quality of the work that they do."

"Much though I have been interested in the wonderful physical beauty of this wonderful State, I have been infinitely more interested in its citizenship."

"No one can too strongly insist upon the elementary fact that you cannot build the superstructure of public virtue save on private virtue."

"I am sure that the others will not mind my saying a special word of greeting to two sets of men."
