Teddy Roosevelt: “This is not, and never shall be, a government of a plutocracy; it is not, and never shall be, a government by a mob.”

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 absorbed in the success of that movement.

I have just been shot.

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