| Quote of the moment |
| Only a spontaneous feeling of empathy with others can really inspire us to act on their behalf. Nevertheless, compassion does not arise mechanically. Such a sincere feeling must grow gradually, cultivated within each individual, based on their own conviction of its worth. Adopting a kind attitude thus becomes a personal matter. How each of us behaves in daily life is, after all, the real test of compassion. |

| That mortal man who hath more of joy than sorrow in him, that mortal man cannot be true—not true, or undeveloped. |

| Governments can err, Presidents do make mistakes, but the immortal Dante tells us that divine justice weighs the sins of the cold-blooded and the sins of the warm-hearted in different scales. Better the occasional faults of a Government that lives in a spirit of charity than the constant omission of a Government frozen in the ice of its own indifference. |
| ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945), U.S. president. ed. Samuel I. Rosenman, The Public Papers and Addresses of Franklin D. Roosevelt, 13 vols., New York (1938-1950). William E. Leuchtenburg, Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal: 1932-1940, p. 333, Harper & Row (1963). FDR was responding to critics of the New Deal programs who charged it with waste and failure of some its programs. ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| The country needs and, unless I mistake its temper, the country demands bold, persistent experimentation. It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something. The millions who are in want will not stand idly by silently forever while the things to satisfy their needs are within easy reach. |
| ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945), U.S. president. from commencement address, May 23, 1932, at Oglethorpe University, Atlanta, Georgia; ed. Samuel I. Rosenman, The Public Papers and Addresses of Franklin D. Roosevelt, 13 vols., New York (1938-1950). Nathan Miller, F.D.R.: An Intimate History, p. 263, Doubleday & Co.(1983). Though the speech was basically written by the journalist E.K. Lindley, it expressed FDR’s pragmatic approach to national problems which was to characterize the New Deal. Roosevelt was a pragmatist by inclination rather than having read or followed the works of the philosopher Will James. FDR, like his distant cousin Theodore Roosevelt, believed that if one did not try to alleviate national disaster from the top, the change would well up from the bottom. ~ |
