We always listen for the applause of our co-workers. He is courageous who plods on, unlettered and unknown.... In the last analysis it is this courage, developing between man and his limitations, that brings success.”

—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
“The office of the Vice-President is a greater honor than I ever dreamed of attaining.”
