answer: below

explanation:

some phrases have become common expressions because the works in which they appear were printed repeatedly in diverse publications. that is the only way they could have entered into such widespread popular usage. such a phrase is “we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,” and in a splendid bibliography stephen m. matyas, jr., has traced its dissemination up through 1825.[i]

“early to bed, and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise”; “lost time is never found again”; “no gain, without pain”—these are other phrases that are part of our language, still seen by parents and grandparents as common-sense words of wisdom, maxims worthy of being instilled in the younger generation.

to realize such influential texts must have been broadly disseminated over many decades is one thing. to document their dissemination is another. once the task was nearly impossible because such short texts were—from our angle of vision—“buried” in newspapers, periodicals, popular biographies, histories, school readers, advice manuals, and the like. to contemporaries, these “buried” texts were inescapable because of the diverse ways in which they were published. now, to digitization, we can see why earlier americans repeatedly ran across them, sometimes even taking them in orally as well as visually. newspapers were, after all, sometimes read aloud, and children’s books certainly were.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
