Theodore Roosevelt actually said...

"The great prizes come more or less by accident."

"I have come, as I said, not to make a set speech, but to thank you for your greeting and to assure you that not one meeting which I have attended since I have been President has given me greater pleas..."

"We need good laws, we need honest administration of the laws, and we cannot afford to be contented with less."

"In any future great national trial, compared with the men of this, we shall have as weak and as strong, as silly and as wise, as bad and as good."
