I Think It No Accident That Most

It Is A Privilege To Serve People, A Privilege That Must Be Earned, And Once Earned, There Is An Obligation To Do Something Good With It.

The Stakes ... Are Too High For Government To Be A Spectator Sport.

But This Is The Great Danger America Faces. That We Will Cease To Be One Nation And Become Instead A Collection Of Interest Groups: City Against Suburb, Region Against Region, Individual Against Individual. Each Seeking To Satisfy Private Wants.
