Teddy Roosevelt: “I congratulate you upon the output from the mines, next the ranches, but most of all the children.”

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 absorbed in the success of that movement.

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

Don’t you pity me. I am all right.
