It is the fiber that has formed the most unselfish creatures who inhabit this earth. They want three things only; for their children to be fed, to be healthy, and to make the most of themselves.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“We believe that civilization has been created under the pressure of the exigencies of life at the cost of satisfaction of the instincts.”
