Years Improvement Wealth

More From Franklin D. Roosevelt

A finer body of men has never been gathered by any nation than the men who have done the work of building the panama canal; the conditions under which they have lived and have done their work have been better than in any similar work ever undertaken in the tropics; they have all felt an eager pride in their work; and they have made not only america but the whole world their debtors by what they have accomplished.

This is a devastating problem, is, the longer our children are in school, the worse they do. year after year after year, our children in america are falling further behind. our 3- and 4-year-olds enter kindergarten ok, and they fall further and further behind. each year, children in other countries are learning more than children in this country. and so the gap between american student performance in singapore and finland and south korea and canada and these other countries, the gap widens year after year after year.

We need more light about each other. light creates understanding, understanding creates love, love creates patience, and patience creates unity.

That morning i was not yet a vampire, and i saw my last sunrise. i remember it completely, and yet i can't recall any sunrise before it. i watched the whole magnificence of the dawn for the last time as if it were the first. and then i said farewell to sunlight, and set out to become what i became.

Do not mistake me for my mask. you see light dappling on the water and forget the deep, cold dark beneath.

If we discovered that, you know, space aliens were planning to attack and we needed a massive buildup to counter the space alien threat and really inflation and budget deficits took secondary place to that, this slump would be over in 18 months. ... there was a twilight zone episode like this in which scientists fake an alien threat in order to achieve world peace. well, this time, we don't need it, we need it in order to get some fiscal stimulus.
