The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood.
A broken promise is bad enough in private life. It is worse in the field of politics.
I am not sick at all. I am all right.
Like all other good citizens, I accept the result with entire good humor and contentment.
