It is possible to read the history of this country as one long struggle to extend the liberties established in our Constitution to everyone in America. – Molly Ivins
Wheres the hope that can abate The grief of hearts thus desolate That can Youths keenest pangs assuage, And mitigate the gloom of Age? Religion bids the tempest cease, And, leads her to a port of peace; And on, the lonely pilot steers Through the lapse of future years. – Thomas Haynes Bayly
