Teddy Roosevelt: “I do not want the best to be any more the deadly enemy of the good.”

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.

Don’t you pity me. I am all right.

I am absorbed in the success of that movement.
