Theodore Roosevelt actually said...

All the statesman needs to do is to exercise common sense, and stick as close to the Golden Rule as his imperfect human nature will permit.

The first duty of each one of you here is to carry your own weight to carry yourselves.

Put justice first; it will generally lead to peace; but follow it wherever it leads.

The greatest problem before our people, as before every modern people, is the problem of getting justice as between man and man.
