| I beg you to speak of Woman as you do of the Negro—speak of her as a human being, as a citizen of the United States, as a half of the people in whose hands lies the destiny of this Nation. |
| ~ Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906), U.S. suffragist. As quoted in The Life and Work of Susan B. Anthony, vol. 3, ch. 67, by Ida Husted Harper (1908). Written to President Theodore Roosevelt in 1905, reacting to a stirring speech he had made at the Republican Club of New York City on Lincoln’s birthday. The speech, “devoted principally to the race question,” argued that the African American man “should be treated with regard to his merits and not his color.” ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| In looking back over the college careers of those who for various reasons have been prominent in undergraduate life ... one cannot help noticing that these men have nearly always shown from the start an interest in the lives of their fellow students. A large acquaintance means that many persons are dependent on a man and conversely that he himself is dependent on many. Success necessarily means larger responsibilities, and responsibilities mean many friends. |
| ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945), U.S. president. editorial, Jan. 26, 1904, by FDR, Harvard Crimson. Ted Morgan, FDR: A Biography, pp. 86-87, Simon & Schuster (1985). This was an early manifestation of FDR’s political and social concept that leaders had of necessity to be people who served and made friends with their fellows. To make oneself popular was a part of leadership, as people who liked you followed you. One suspects that this belief underlay Roosevelt’s approach to such things as his Fireside Chats, which allowed the public to think of him as a friend and confidant. ~ |
