| Quote of the moment |
| If the Nation is living within its income, its credit is good. If, in some crises, it lives beyond its income for a year or two, it can usually borrow temporarily at reasonable rates. But if, like a spendthrift, it throws discretion to the winds, and is willing to make no sacrifice at all in spending; if it extends its taxing to the limit of the people’s power to pay and continues to pile up deficits, then it is on the road to bankruptcy. |
| ~ FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, governor of New York, campaign address on the federal budget, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, October 19, 1932.—The Public Papers and Addresses of Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1928–1932, p. 797 (1938). ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| Our judgements, even concerning ordinary things, are frequently clouded by our emotions. For example, we often see the actions of our loved ones - even if they are harmful - as wonderful, whereas we judge even the positive actions of a person we dislike as pretentious and false. We cannot rely upon our perceptions; it is a fact that we misapprehend many situations. If this is a general fact, how can we still stubbornly maintain that our perceptions about our own spiritual masters must be true? |

| You can never really live anyone else’s life, not even your child’s. The influence you exert is through your own life, and what you’ve become yourself. |
| ~ Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962), U.S. First Lady, humanitarian. As quoted in Woman to Woman, by Julia Gilden and Mark Riedman (1994). ~ |
