Famous quotes containing the words early and/or years:

    “It was common practice for me to take my children with me whenever I went shopping, out for a walk in a white neighborhood, or just felt like going about in a white world. The reason was simple enough: if a black man is alone or with other black men, he is a threat to whites. But if he is with children, then he is harmless, adorable.”
    —Gerald Early (20th century)

    “If we can “boondoggle” ourselves out of this depression, that word is going to be enshrined in the hearts of the American people for years to come.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
