Teddy Roosevelt: “To carry out this policy is but to act in the spirit of George Washington.”

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.

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