—Franklin D. Roosevelt (18821945)
“It seems I impregnated Marge
So I do rather feel, by and large,
Some cash should be tendered
For services rendered,
But I cant quite decide what to charge.”
—Anonymous.
“My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital. I sometimes discuss the application of a compress or a wisp of hay under a broken limb, but not the bearing and merits of a political movement. I make gruelnot speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.”
—Clara Barton (18211912)
“Navajo men and boys have an odd way of showing their friendship. When two young men meet at the trading post, a Sing, or a dance they greet each other, inquire about the health of their respective families, then stand silently some ten or fifteen minutes while one feels the others arms, shoulders, and chest.”
—Administration in the State of Ariz, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
