"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to abundance of those who have much; it is if we provide enough for those who have too little."
(Franklin D. Roosevelt)

 "If by a Liberal they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people — their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties — someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a 'Liberal,' then I'm proud to say I'm a Liberal.” ( John F. Kennedy)
