Teddy Roosevelt: “We can do a great deal when we undertake, soberly, to do the possible.”

Character must show itself in the man's performance both of the duty he owes himself and of the duty he owes the State.

I have just been shot.

I will accept the nomination for President if it is tendered to me, and I will adhere to this decision until the convention has expressed its preference.

Therefore I hope that so far as possible the people may be given the chance, through direct primaries, to express their preference as to who shall be the nominee of the Republican Presidential Convention.
