| How many people in the United States do you think will be willing to go to war to free Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania? |
| ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945), U.S. president. Edward M. Bennett, Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Search for Victory: American-Soviet Relations, 1939-1945, pp. 173-174, Scholarly Resources, Inc. (1990). Jim Bishop, FDR’s Last Year, p. 468, William Morrow & Co., Inc. (1974). Eleanor Roosevelt expressed shock at the surrender of these small countries to Soviet control. Roosevelt realistically perceived that the Russians were not going to give up the area through which they were attacked twice in a generation by the Germans. He did not for a moment believe that Americans were willing to fight for the freedom of these little republics. ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| While one possesses the facilities of wealth, position, education, and so on, it is crucial that there be some internal restraining factor that constantly keeps one in check so one is not spoiled by these facilities and never loses the fundamental insight into the underlying unsatisfactory nature of cyclic existence. The proper perspective is to utilize this as an aid in the path, and in working for the benefit of other sentient beings. There is always the need to maintain balance, not to go to any extremes, and to have full knowledge of how to proceed along the path in the best and most effective way. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, August 25, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |
