Teddy Roosevelt: “Of course any violence, brutality, or corruption, should not for one moment be tolerated.”

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

I have just been shot.

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.
