Teddy Roosevelt: “May I ask those who have not differed with me to join with me in this same spirit toward those who have?”

I have just been shot.

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 all right and you cannot escape listening to the speech either.

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