What we apparently have failed to grasp is that, in this new world in which we live, the collective hunger of great masses of people, wherever they may be, will affect our long-range welfare, just as though they were our own people.
Eleanor Roosevelt
To a certain extent I don't see any real need for socialism in the United States immediately, but things change and it may be that there will come a need for partial changes in our economy.
Eleanor Roosevelt
People can only make you inferior with your consent.

Eleanor Roosevelt
