| The tyrannies of today are improved; they no longer admit of silence or neutrality. One has to take a stand, be either for or against. Well, in that case, I am against. |

| No human being can tell what the Russians are going to do next, and I think the Japanese actions will depend much on what Russia decides to do both in Europe and the Far East—especially in Europe. |
| ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945), U.S. president. letter, Dec. 13, 1939, to Francis B. Sayre, High Commissioner to the Philippines. The Roosevelt Letters, vol. 3, p. 291, ed. Elliott Roosevelt, George G. Harrup & Co., Ltd. (1952). FDR was chagrined at the USSR’s attack on Finland as well as the Nazi-Soviet Pact, and was concerned that the Japanese might see this arrangement as opening a door to further expansion in the Far East, perhaps moving against British, if not American, possessions. ~ |

| This I do know and can say to you: Our country is in more danger now than at any time since the Declaration of Independence. We don’t dare follow the Lindberghs, Wheelers and Nyes, casting suspicion, sowing discord around the leadership of Franklin D. Roosevelt. We don’t want revolution among ourselves. |
| ~ Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973), U.S. president. “Radio Address, San Marcos, Texas,” LBJ Library, “Speech Collection,” (May 3, 1941). Opening of senatorial campaign. ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| Perhaps in monasteries in the West there is leisure, but outside - especially in the cities - life seems to be running at a rapid pace, like a clock, never stopping for an instant! So if you look at life in an urban community, it seems as if every aspect of a person's life has to be so precise, designed like a screw that has to fit exactly in the hole. In some sense, you have no control over your own life. In order to survive, you have to follow this pattern and the pace that is set for you. |
