Famous quotes containing the words request and/or show:
“Mr. Roosevelt, this is my principal request—it is almost the last request I shall ever make of anybody. Before you leave the presidential chair, recommend Congress to submit to the Legislatures a Constitutional Amendment which will enfranchise women, and thus take your place in history with Lincoln, the great emancipator. I beg of you not to close your term of office without doing this.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“When I show my grandchildren, I have a wonderful feeling of pride. I say, “See that crane way, way up there? Grandma used to run a crane like that during the war.””
—Jennette Hyman Nuttall U.S. (former)
