Theodore Roosevelt
Speak softly, I'm getting my massage.
Theodore Roosevelt
Let individuals contribute as they desire but let us prohibit in effective fashion all corporations from making contributions for any political purpose, directly or indirectly.
Theodore Roosevelt

What I am to be, I am becoming.
Theodore Roosevelt
Massive potential you have and, in recognition of all this, would you mind having your salary halved.
