    The essence of democracy is its assurance that every human being should so respect himself and should be so respected in his own personality that he should have opportunity equal to that of every other human being to “show what he was meant to become.”

    Whether in the bringing of the flowers or the food
    She offers plenty, and is part of plenty,
    And whether I see her stooping, or leaning with the flowers,
    What she does is ages old, and she is not simply,
    No, but lovely in that way.
    —Bernard Spencer (1909–1963)
