"The ultimate victory of tomorrow is democracy,..." - Quote by Franklin D Roosevelt

“For out of this modern civilization economic royalists carved new dynasties. New kingdoms were built upon concentration of control over material things. Through new uses of corporations, banks and securities, new machinery of industry and agriculture, of labor and capital - all undreamed of by the Fathers - the whole structure of modern life was impressed into this royal service.”

“I have an unshaken conviction that democracy can never be undermined if we maintain our library resources and a national intelligence capable of utilizing them.”

“Change is like fire- if uncontrolled, it will consume us.”

“Our democracy is but a name. We vote? What does that mean? It means that we choose between two bodies of real, though not avowed, autocrats. We choose between Tweedledum and Tweedledee.… You ask for votes for women. What good can votes do when ten-elevenths of the land of Great Britain belongs to 200,000 and only one-eleventh to the rest of the 40,000,000? Have your men with their millions of votes freed themselves from this injustice?”

“Information is a basic human right and the fundamental foundation for the formation of democratic institutions.”

“Science and democracy are the right and left hands of what I'll refer to as the move from the realm of necessity to the realm of freedom.”

“Creativity is the key to success in the future, and primary education is where teachers can bring creativity in children at that level.”

“An eminent teacher of girls said, "the idea of a girl's education, is, whatever qualifies them for going to Europe.”

“Human beings are more alike than unalike, and what is true anywhere is true everywhere, yet I encourage travel to as many destinations as possible for the sake of education as well as pleasure.”
