Write or Fight?

A L O H A !



" 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 
too little. "

Franklin D. Roosevelt
32nd President of the United States (1933–1945)

great strength, 
and great riches
are really and truly of no great use; 
a right heart exceeds all. "

I wish the quote from Rosevelt could be emblazoned on the manifesto of the European Union right now. We seem to be forgetting to look after our most vulnerable. Thank you for the pics

The F.D.R. quote is very impressive.
Interesting that all seem to have been thought of only recently. Thank you for this exercise of thought. Please have a good Tuesday you all.
