Theodore Roosevelt actually said...

"Success will come in the long run to the man or the nation possessing the attributes that have conquered success from the days when we first have written records of the nations of mankind."

"Our government has so far escaped the twin dangers of the older republics, government by a plutocracy or government by a mob, either of them absolutely alien to American ideals."

"There is no patent recipe for making a good citizen any more than there is any patent recipe for making a successful man."

"Constitution, laws,—they are good things, indispensable things, to have right, but you must have the men behind them or they will amount to but little."
