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.

I believe in active citizenship, for men and women equally, as a simple matter of right and justice. I believe we will have better government in all of our countries when men and women discuss public issues together and make their decisions on the basis of their different areas of experience and their common concern for the welfare of their families and their world.

It is so much easier to be enthusiastic than to reason!

Nothing was ever accomplished by anyone who said 'It can't be done.'

We are given in our newspapers and on TV and radio exactly what we, the public, insist on having, and this very frequently is mediocre information and mediocre entertainment.

Women are like tea bags.They do not know how strong they are until they get into hot water.

I never thought of achievement. I just did what came along for me to do - the thing that gave me the most pleasure.
