The tragedy in the lives of most of us is that we go through life
walking down a high-walled lane with people of our own kind, the same
economic situation, the same national background and education and
religious outlook. And beyond those walls, all humanity lies, unknown
and unseen, and untouched by our restricted and impoverished lives.
~ Florence Luscomb

The President is merely the most important among a large number of
public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the
degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his
efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested
service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary
that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts,
and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does
wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an
American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must
be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the
President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is
morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth
should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more
important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than
about any one else.
~ Theodore Roosevelt

The crucial disadvantage of aggression, competitiveness, and

A man who lies to himself, and believes his own lies, becomes unable

Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.

[Manish Modi]

We have abundant reason to rejoice, that, in this land, the light of
truth and reason has triumphed over the power of bigotry and
superstition, and that every person may here worship God according to
the dictates of his own heart. In this enlightened age, and in this
land of equal liberty, it is our boast, that a man's religious tenets
will not forfeit the protection of the laws, nor deprive him of the
right of attaining and holding the highest offices that are known in
the United States.
~ George Washington

(1732 - 1799)

The force which makes for war does not derive its strength from the

disinterested motives of good men.
