ROOSEVELT, Theodore. Typed quotation signed ("Theodore Roosevelt"), n.d. 1 page, oblong (5 x 7 7/8 in.).
"HE HAD THE PRACTICAL MAN'S HARD COMMON SENSE..." T. R. ON LINCOLN'S GREATNESS: "Lincoln saw into the future with the prophetic imagination usually vouchsafed only to the poet and the seer. He had in him all the lift toward greatness of the visionary, without any of the visionary's fanaticism or egotism, without any of the visionary's narrow jealousy of the practical man and inability to strive in practical fashion [toward] the realization of an ideal. He had the practical man's hard common sense and willingness to adapt means to ends; but there was in him none of that morbid growth of mind and soul which blinds so many practical men to the higher things in life."
