Better the occasional faults of a Government that lives in a spirit of charity than the constant omission of a Government frozen in the ice of its own indifference.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“Having levelled my palace, don’t erect a hovel and complacently admire your own charity in giving me that for a home.”
