An aphorism is a short saying which encapsulates a meaning or idea so fully that it can continue to live on in its own right beyond the context of its initial application. FDR's statement falls squarely into this category, having been used in continual application for many decades since its initial use.</span>

Walter Lee Younger is a dreamer who tries to find quick solutions to solve his family's problems. He wanted to invest his father's insurance money to start up a liquor store.
