Excerpt from Theodore Roosevelt, His Life and Work
Washington, Lincoln, Grant! These only are worthy of comparison With him. Yet full recognition of the majesty of the character of the Father of his Country came not until his mortal Spirit had passed from its earthly sphere and his bones were mouldering in the dust.
Lincoln! The sublime grandeur of his character, the nobility of his personality, the purity of his purposes now are graven upon the stars; his one-time enemies now journey to his tomb and pay homage to his fame, but he did not live to see even the mina tion of his dreams of a reunited country, much less the universal realization of the justice of his aims.
Grant! No word of mine could add to the lustre of that noble name, great warrior and statesman as he was.
