| The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. Let us move forward with strong and active faith. |
| ~ President FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT.—”This is the latest draft of the President’s proposed speech [for Jefferson Day, April 13, 1945]. The last sentence [quoted above] was written into the typed draft in his own hand. The draft was not the final one; the preparation of the final draft was prevented by death.”—The Public Papers and Addresses of Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1944–45, p. 616 (1950). FDR died April 12, 1945. ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| History proves that dictatorships do not grow out of strong and successful governments, but out of weak and helpless ones. If by democratic methods people get a government strong enough to protect them from fear and starvation, their democracy succeeds; but if they do not, they grow impatient. Therefore, the only sure bulwark of continuing liberty is a government strong enough to protect the interests of the people, and a people strong enough and well enough informed to maintain its sovereign control over its government. |
| ~ President FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, fireside chat on economic conditions, April 14, 1938.—The Public Papers and Addresses of Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1938, pp. 242–43 (1941). ~ |

| The fact remains that the birth cycles of all sentient beings are beginningless, and that countless times in previous lives we have each fulfilled the role of a mother. The feeling of a mother for her child is a classic example of love. For the safety, protection, and welfare of her children, a mother is ready to sacrifice her very life. Recognizing this, children should be grateful to their mothers and express their gratitude by performing virtuous deeds. |

| I know Bacchus, the god of wine, for he smells of nectar; but all I know of the god of beer is that he smells of the billy goat. |

| Quote of the moment |
| I stand for the heart. To the dogs with the head! I had rather be a fool with a heart, than Jupiter Olympus with his head. The reason the mass of men fear God, and at bottom dislike Him, is because they rather distrust His heart, and fancy Him all brain like a watch. |
| ~ Herman Melville (1819–1891), U.S. author. letter, June 1?, 1851, to Nathaniel Hawthorne. Correspondence, vol. 14, The Writings of Herman Melville, ed. Lynn Horth (1993). ~ |
