“The teachers taught us to like Washington and to respect Jefferson. But Lincoln – him they taught us to love.” –Sarah Vowell

“Now the trumpet summons us again – not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need – not as a call to battle, though embattled we are – but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, “rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation” – a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself… With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God’s work must truly be ours.” –John F. Kennedy

Be good to each other,

-Nathan
