"[M]y conception of liberty does not permit..." - Quote by Franklin D Roosevelt

“The virtues are lost in self-interest as rivers are lost in the sea.”

“There can be little doubt that in many ways the story of bridge building is the story of civilisation. By it we can readily measure an important part of a people's progress.”

“When you abandon freedom to achieve security, you lose both and deserve neither.”

“I am entirely persuaded that the agitations of the public mind advance its powers, and that at every vibration between the points of liberty and despotism, something will be gained for the former. As men become better informed, their rulers must respect them the more.”

“Success is very largely a matter of adjusting one's self to the ever-varying and changing environments of life, in a spirit of harmony and poise.”

“For the water animals, the ocean is like a garden; for the land animals, it is death and pain.”

“Age, like woman, requires fit surroundings.”
