Food for Thought

Vol. 2, No. 1--Pre-Summit, January 2005

Franklin D. Roosevelt:
"We can never insure one hundred percent of the population against one hundred percent of the hazards and vicissitudes of life, but we have tried to frame a law which will give some measure of protection to the average citizen and to his family against the loss of a job and against poverty-ridden old age." Statement upon signing the Social Security Act, August 14, 1935.

Bertrand Russell
"One must care about a world one will never see."

John Wesley
"Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as you ever can."

Alexandr Solzhenitzyn
"The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes nor between parties either, but right through the human heart."
