“The chief lesson of the Depression should never be forgotten. Even our liberty-loving American people will sacrifice their freedom and their democratic principles if their security and their very lives are threatened by another breakdown of our free enterprise system. We can no more afford another general depression than we can afford another total war, if democracy is to survive.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
“Few serve truth in truth because only few have the pure will to be just, and of those again very few have the strength to be just.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
