From Franklin D. Roosevelt

There are many ways of going forward, but only one way of standing still.
Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds.
The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much it is whether we provide enough for those who have little.
In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.
