Teddy Roosevelt: “No nation can face greatness without having to face trial.”

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

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.
