Teddy Roosevelt: “It is a poor thing for a nation if it uses the memory of the past to excuse it for inaction or failure in the present.”

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.

I am all right and you cannot escape listening to the speech either.

Don’t you pity me. I am all right.
