I wonder if one of the penalties of growing older is that you become more and more conscious that nothing is very permanent.

...real prosperity can only come when everybody prospers.

We can no longer oversimplify. We can no longer build lazy and false stereotypes: Americans are like this, Russians are like that, a Jew behaves in such a way, a Negro thinks in a different way. The lazy generalities - 'You know how women are ... Isn't that just like a man?' The world cannot be understood from a single point of view.

We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot.

The labor movement has a great role to play in our country today.

Nobody else is going to do the things which are yours to be done in the world.

Some people are going to leave a mark on this world, while others will leave a stain.
