Quotable Roosevelt

“We have to prove to our own people that we are cognizant of the qualities that it will require to meet the future years. The courage, the vision, the imagination, the honesty… I know we need a united [Democratic] party, but it cannot be a united party that gives up its principles. I want unity but above everything else, I want a party that will fight for the things that we know are right home and abroad.” 

– Eleanor Roosevelt, responding to Harry S. Truman at a Dec. 1959 dinner
