And while I am talking to you mothers and fathers, I give you one more assurance. I have said this before, but I shall say it again and again and again: Your boys are not going to be sent into any foreign wars.

Your boys are not going to be sent into any foreign wars.

We know that equality of individual ability has never existed and never will, but we do insist that equality of opportunity still must be sought.

But while they prate of economic laws, men and women are starving. We must lay hold of the fact that economic laws are not made by nature. They are made by human beings.
