More from Teddy Roosevelt
Like all other good citizens, I accept the result with entire good humor and contentment.
The good citizen will demand liberty for himself, and as a matter of pride, he will see to it that others receive the liberty which he thus claims as his own.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood.
I care for the great deeds of the past chiefly as spurs to drive us onward in the present.
