Teddy Roosevelt: “Men fit for the work will not undertake it unless they are well paid.”

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

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

I have just been shot.
