The great things are few and simple, but they are too often hidden by false issues, and conventional, unreal thinking.

The easiest way to hide a real issue always has been, and always will be, to replace it with a false one.
The first thing we need in this country, as President Roosevelt so well set forth in a great message which told what he had been trying to do for the American people, is equality of opportunity for every citizen.
No man should have less, and no man ought to ask for any more.

Equality of opportunity is the real object of our laws and institutions.

Our institutions and our laws are not valuable in themselves.

They are valuable only because they secure equality of opportunity for happiness and welfare to our citizens.
