And she must teach him how to find a woman to take care of him and finish the job she began of training him how to live in a family.

—Frank Pittman (20th century)
“I do not know that the United States can save civilization but at least by our example we can make people think and give them the opportunity of saving themselves. The trouble is that the people of Germany, Italy and Japan are not given the privilege of thinking.”
