Theodore Roosevelt actually said...

"We must drive the special interests out of politics."

"No man is worth his salt in public life who makes on the stump a pledge which he does not keep after election; and, if he makes such a pledge and does not keep it, hunt him out of public life."

"Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built."

"A broken promise is bad enough in private life. It is worse in the field of politics."
