Teddy Roosevelt: “It is a great pleasure for me to address you upon this beautiful spring morning.”

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.

I am all right and you cannot escape listening to the speech either.

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