Henry Cabot Lodge: “If the man had been honestly successful and used his fortune wisely and beneficently, he was regarded by Theodore…”

He was unfailingly attractive, because he was always perfectly natural and his own unconscious self.

His ideal of public service was to be found in his life, and as his life drew to its close he had to meet his ideal of sacrifice face to face.

He preached unceasingly the familiar morals which lie at the bottom of both family and public life.

Some of them were the dreams of boyhood, from which he never departed, and which I have seen him carry out shyly and yet thoroughly and with intense personal satisfaction.
