    Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)

    We can beat all Europe with United States soldiers. Give me a thousand Tennesseans, and I’ll whip any other thousand men on the globe!

    What the United States does best is to understand itself. What it does worst is understand others.
    Carlos Fuentes (b. 1928)

    Steal away and stay away.
    Don’t join too many gangs. Join few if any.

    But not much in between unless a college.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    In the larger view the major forces of the depression now lie outside of the United States, and our recuperation has been retarded by the unwarranted degree of fear and apprehension created by these outside forces.
