When I'm Reading For My Own Pleasure,

There Is Only One Person Who Can Measure Your Success. That Person Is You.

How Can We Know Who We Are And Where We Are Going If We Don't Know Anything About Where We Have Come From And What We Have Been Through, The Courage Shown, The Costs Paid, To Be Where We Are?

There Are No People On Earth In Whom A Spirit Of Enthusiastic Zeal Is So Readily Kindled, And Burns So Remarkably, As Americans

I'm Absolutely Positive It's In Our Human Nature To Want To Know About The Past. The Two Most Popular Movies Of All Time, While Not Historically Accurate, Are About Core Historic Events: 'gone With The Wind' And 'titanic.'

Yes, This Is A Dangerous Time. Yes, This Is A Time Full Of Shadows And Fear. But We Have Been Through Worse Before And We Have Faced More Difficult Days Before. We Have Shown Courage And Determination, And Skillful And Inventive And Courageous And Committed Responses To Crisis Before.
