and have put forth all their heath and strength.
This quotation is inaccurate: Theodore Roosevelt's 1910 speech says "heart and strength," not "heath and strength."
Full reasoning
The post presents this as part of Theodore Roosevelt's 1910 speech "Citizenship in a Republic." In authoritative transcripts of that speech, the line reads "and have put forth all their heart and strength". The word "heath" in the post is therefore an error in the quoted text, not the wording found in Roosevelt's speech.
I verified this against:
- The American Presidency Project, which publishes a transcript of Roosevelt's April 23, 1910 Sorbonne address and gives the sentence as: "Well for these men if they succeed; well also, though not so well, if they fail, given only that they have nobly ventured, and have put forth all their heart and strength."
- Wikisource, which also reproduces the speech and likewise has "heart and strength".
Because the post specifically attributes the passage to Roosevelt's speech, this wording is factually incorrect as quoted.
