Teddy Roosevelt: “We know now that our rivers can and should be made to serve our people effectively in transportation.”

Like all other good citizens, I accept the result with entire good humor and contentment.

The American people by a great plurality have conferred upon you the highest honor in their gift.

I want every labor man, every labor leader, every organized union man, to take the lead in denouncing crime or violence.
