Teddy Roosevelt: “But the manifestations of this sectionalism proved abortive; the broad patriotism of leaders like Washington prevailed.”

I am absorbed in the success of that movement.

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