Theodore Roosevelt actually said...

"There is nowhere I feel more at home than in a town like this."

"We are trying here in America on the largest and most complete scale that it has been tried, the experiment of having a free people govern itself by itself and for itself."

"We are bound to make a success of it, not for our sakes, but for the sake of mankind."

"The cause of free government throughout this land would be shaken to its foundation if we fail here."
