“The Red Cross in its nature, it aims and purposes, and consequently, its methods, is unlike any other organization in the country.

[ellipsis in original] it has by its nature a field of its own.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
“Remember that it’s never a crime in the face of humanity and enlightenment to distribute the works of the great humanists among the merchants and moneychangers of this godforsaken country... You better slip me the dough.”
