Emergency Relief Administration

Famous quotes containing the words emergency and/or relief:

    War-making is one of the few activities that people are not supposed to view “realistically”; that is, with an eye to expense and practical outcome. In all-out war, expenditure is all-out, unprudent—war being defined as an emergency in which no sacrifice is excessive.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    Boys, when you see the enemy, fire and then run, and as I am a little lame, I will run now.
    —For the State of Rhode Island, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
