Teddy Roosevelt: “It is that every man, from the President right through, has got to do if our country is to be what it should be.”

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.
