Steve HermanBig banner with a Teddy quote about courage on the Theodore Roosevelt Federal Building, headquarters of OPM. Only discrepancy is that the 26th president never said this.
Kevin Patrick Doyle 🍅🥫@newsguyusa ah, well, nevertheless
JakeB@Kevin @newsguyusa No, but he did write this explicitly genocidal excerpt:
'Yet it remains no less true that the world would probably
have gone forward very little, indeed would probably not have gone
forward at all, had it not been for the displacement or submersion of savage
and barbaric peoples as a consequence of the armed settlement in strange
lands of the races who hold in their hands the fate of the years.'
The winning of the west-part 3.
DB@newsguyusa AI fractured history
Stumpy The Mutt@newsguyusa That needs a picture of Abraham Licoln quoting him as saying "Don't believe everything you read on the Internet."
caoimhín o'cuilleain@newsguyusa this one could really use an alt-text here.
Wouter@nukleos@newsguyusa See https://literature.stackexchange.com/questions/6497/who-said-this-quote-napoleon-bonaparte-or-theodore-roosevelt ...
TLDR: The earliest recorded appearance of this phrasing is from the 1993 work "The Mourning After: How to Manage Grief Wisely" by Stanley P. Cornils ...

A photo of an eight story concrete & glass office block taken from a taller building. In the foreground are trees in leaf. From the top centre of the building hangs a banner. It is 1/2 the height and a 1/3 the width of the building. The banner is purple with a black and white image of a man with round glasses and a moustache & the words "Courage is not having the strength to go on; it is going on when you don't have the strength. - Theodore Roosevelt (26th U.S. president)"

𝙳𝚊𝚒𝚕𝚢 𝙵𝚒𝚜𝚑𝚠𝚛𝚊𝚙I knew it! Always thought Teddy was a life coach.
Avi Rappoport (avirr)@newsguyusa That’s a definition of “can’t” that doesn’t even make sense.
Passwordsarehard4@newsguyusa I’m surprised they had the right number / name combo. I could see them putting Teddy’s name and Frankie’s number and dates with a quote neither of them said.
Flaming Cheeto@newsguyusa I know very little about history but hooooo boy would that president hate this president.
Allen Finchum@newsguyusa Interesting. Very interesting.
Sara@newsguyusa Shame they didn't go with "I decline to recognize the mere multimillionaire, the man of mere wealth, as an asset of value to any country; and especially as not an asset to my own country."

Greg Leston@newsguyusa Oh, look. It's your goofy aunt's Facebook wall come to life.
john r red-horseI did find at least one location that states that this quote is often attributed to Napoleon.
Michael McKee@newsguyusa Reminds me of this pearl of wisdom from another one of our presidents... "The problem with stealing quotes from the internet - is that you never know if they are genuine." ~Abraham Lincoln
