The American, by nature, is optimistic. He is experimental, an inventor and a builder who builds best when called upon to build greatly.
So long as freedom from hunger is only half achieved, so long as two thirds of the nations have food deficits, no citizen, no nation can afford to be satisfied. We have the ability, as members of the human race, we have the means, we have the capacity to eliminate hunger from the face of the earth in our lifetime. We only need the will.
I'm always rather nervous about how you talk about women who are active in politics, whether they want to be talked about as women or as politicians.
Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names.
The war against hunger is truly mankind's war of liberation.
So, let us not be blind to our differences - but let us also direct attention to our common interests and to the means by which those differences can be resolved.
We stand for freedom. That is our conviction for ourselves; that is our only commitment to others.
Modern cynics and skeptics... see no harm in paying those to whom they entrust the minds of their children a smaller wage than is paid to those to whom they entrust the care of their plumbing.

The state is the servant of the citizen, and not his master.
