America Quote by Newton B. Drury
“By patience and determination, rather than by a harsh upsetting of tradition, we move toward our national aspirations… This is the way we get things done in America. One man tells another, does what he can, till the sum of these efforts grows into a national aspiration-a precious goal. Then occurs our miracle of democracy: because the groundwork has been surely laid, the goal is already within our grasp.”
