Teddy Roosevelt: “I shall go away a stronger and a better American for having been in this mighty Commonwealth of Texas.”

I am not sick at all. I am all right.

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

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 have just been shot.
