Theodore Roosevelt actually said...

"It is our duty to lift him up; but it is also our duty to remember that there is no earthly use in trying to carry him."

"The more one studies the problems of life and of civilization the more one realizes the infinitely greater importance of the man than of his physical surroundings."

"The true line of cleavage lies between good citizen and bad citizen."

"We ought to say it as a reminder to us that we are not to be excused if in the future we do any less well than has been done in the past."
