In paragraph 3, what does Roosevelt mean by universal when he refers to "the universal language of human aspiration"? *

In paragraph 3 of Roosevelts speech which he gave during the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Statue of Liberty, he makes the following statement

They came to us—most of them—in steerage. But they, in their humble quarters, saw things in these strange horizons which were denied to the eyes of those few who travelled in greater luxury.

They came to us speaking many tongues—but a single language, the universal language of human aspiration.

By the underscored sentence, Roosevelt speaks of the feeling which binds all of humanity - a will and or a desire to succede.

Cheers

hi there!

sorry i was debating over answering this question or not, but i do believe it is a sin to be gay. in the beginning, god created man and he created women to be a for man. there are many "political" views on this topic but i believe the bible is right. in the kjv bible, leviticus 18: 22, god talks about how it it is an abomination for women to be with women and man to be with man. god knows that everybody is a sinner, and he gives everyone a chance to repent. i'm not forcing god's word on anybody, but i do believe it is a sin. no matter the sin, as long as you repent, god is willing to forgive, you just have to accept him as your lord and savior.

there is no woman's sides

can bide the beating of so strong a passion

as love doth give my heart; no woman's heart

so big, to hold so much; they lack retention.

hope this !
