Teddy Roosevelt: “Always speak courteously; be dead sure you are right before going into trouble; being in, see it through.”

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

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

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 congratulate you thereon.
