—Administration in the State of Miss, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Man is naturally a political animal.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
“They should own who can administer, not they who hoard and conceal; not they who, the greater proprietors they are, are only the greater beggars, but they whose work carves out work for more, opens a path for all.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
