Equality of opportunity is the right of every American. This ideal of individualism based upon equal opportunity of every citizen is the negation of socialism. Equality of opportunity is a fundamental principle of our nation.

Roosevelt

Front

Government in this regard is the maintenance of a balance, within which every individual may have a place if he will take it; in which every individual may find safety if he wishes it; in which every individual may attain such power as his ability permits, consistent with his assuming the accompanying responsibility.
