About this Quote

This quote by Franklin D. Roosevelt talks to the idea of progress and how it ought to be measured. He recommends that development should not be evaluated by how much more is given to those who already have plenty, however rather by how much is offered to those who have little. This quote highlights the significance of providing for those who are less lucky and highlights the need for social justice and equality. It is a reminder that development should not be determined by how much the rich have, however by how much the less fortunate have. Roosevelt's quote is a call to action to guarantee that everybody has access to the resources they require to live a comfortable life. It is a suggestion that development ought to be determined by how much is offered to those who have the least, not by just how much is given to those who have the most.
