Matching Quote
"The country needs and, unless I mistake its temper, the country demands bold, persistent
experimentation
. It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something. The millions who are in want will not stand idly by silently forever while the things to satisfy their needs are within easy reach."
-Franklin D. Roosevelt
