Teddy Roosevelt: “The suggestion is on its face so ludicrously impossible that it is difficult to treat it as honestly made.”

Don’t you pity me. I am all right.

The American people by a great plurality have conferred upon you the highest honor in their gift.

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.
