Teddy Roosevelt: “The citizen who counts in the development of the state is the man or woman who makes this his or her home.”

I have just been shot.

Like all other good citizens, I accept the result with entire good humor and contentment.

I want every labor man, every labor leader, every organized union man, to take the lead in denouncing crime or violence.

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.
