Teddy Roosevelt: “The American people abhor a sham, and with this abhorrence I cordially sympathize.”

the fate of the leader for the time being is of little consequence, but the cause itself must in the end triumph, for its triumph is essential to the well-being of the American people.

I am all right and you cannot escape listening to the speech either.

No man is worth his salt in public life who makes on the stump a pledge which he does not keep after election; and, if he makes such a pledge and does not keep it, hunt him out of public life.

I congratulate you thereon.
