Teddy Roosevelt: “Such action, however, required a special exception to the rules.”

I am not sick at all. I am all right.

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.

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

I don’t know anything about who the man was who shot me to-night.
