Teddy Roosevelt: “We have done our duty ourselves, and we have done the higher duty of promoting the civilization of mankind.”

I am absorbed in the success of that movement.

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 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.
