You can lead a man to Congress, but you can't make him think

Summary

It reflects the idea that mere access to authority does not automatically guarantee wisdom or rational decision-making, emphasizing the importance of individual intellect and independent thought.

The American city should be a collection of communities where every member has a right to belong. It should be a place where every man feels safe on his streets and in the house of his friends. It should be a place where each individuals dignity and self-respect is strengthened by the respect and affection of his neighbors. It should be a place where each of us can find the satisfaction and warmth which comes from being a member of the community of man. This is what man sought at the dawn of civilization. It is what we seek today.
