“It is always disagreeable to take stands. It is always easier to compromise, always easier to let things go. To many women, and I am one of them, it is extraordinarily difficult to care about anything enough to cause disagreement or unpleasant feelings, but I have come to the conclusion that this must be done for a time until we can prove our strength and demand respect for our wishes. We cannot even be of real service in the coming campaign and speak as a united body of women unless we have the respect of men and show that when we express a wish, we are willing to stand by it.” MenRealDoneEnoughShowsFeelingsBodyCareSpeakWishCausesDifficultUnitedWillingEasierDemandProveCampaignsConclusionCompromiseDisagreementDisagreeableLetting Things Go Book:Love, Eleanor: Eleanor Roosevelt and Her Friends Source: Love, Eleanor: Eleanor Roosevelt and Her Friends

“There is only one party in the United States, the Property Party...and it has two right wings: Republican and Democrat. Republicans are a bit stupider, more rigid, more doctrinaire in their laissez-faire capitalism than the Democrats, who are cuter, prettier, a bit more corrupt - until recently... and more willing than the Republicans to make small adjustments when the poor, the black, the anti-imperialists get out of hand. But, essentially, there is no difference between the two parties.” TwoStatesHandsBitsBlackDifferencesPoorUnitedPartyUnited StatesWillingRepublicanCapitalismWingsPropertyDemocratAdjustmentRight WingLaissez FaireLaissez Faire Capitalism Author:Gore Vidal
