The Peace Corps would give thousands of young Americans a chance to see at first hand the conditions in remote areas of the world.

As far as I was concerned, the Depression was an ill wind that blew some good. If it hadn't occurred, my parents would have given me my college education. As it was, I had to scrabble for it.

A line has to be drawn somewhere between what is essential and what is peripheral.

I don't have to run the Peace Corps. I could live without seeing my picture in the newspapers and without being interviewed.

Any idealist who tries to join the Peace Corps must realize he is not going to change the world overnight.
