In Her Own Words 

My World View

"If I am sometimes critical of my own people, it is in excess of love, for I perceive so clearly the need for humanity and our own amazing ability to aid in fulfilling them, that I grow restless with the delays preventing the realization of ourselves and of what we can do, at home and abroad, to create a sensible and pleasant world.”
