“You shouldn't call then anything. They're poor unfortunate people who cannot help the way they look,”

“It's poor judgment', said Grandpa 'to call anything by a name. We don't know what a hobgoblin or a vampire or a troll is. Could be lots of things. You can't heave them into categories with labels and say they'll act one way or another. That'd be silly. They're people. People who do things. Yes, that's the way to put it. People who *do* things.”

“You can tell the size of a person by the way he treats people who cannot help him.”

“The poor things keep calling in those – those pumbles, I think they're called – you know, the ones who mend pipes and things – ""Plumbers?"" – exactly, yes, but of course they're flummoxed.”

“If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.[Inaugural Address, January 20 1961]”

“If you're in trouble, or hurt or need - go to the poor people. They're the only ones that'll help - the only ones.”
