Theodore Roosevelt actually said...

"We may be sure that the honor of the Republic is safe in their hands."

"Where wrong has been done by anyone the wrong-doer shall be punished; but we shall not halt in our great work because some man has happened to do wrong."

"Righteousness finds weakness but a poor yoke-fellow."

"May we prove ourselves true to them, not merely by paying homage to their memory, but by so shaping the policy of this great Republic as to make it evident that we are not unworthy of our sires."
