Call a truce, then to our labors - let us feast with friends and neighbors And be merry as the custom of our caste For if faint and forced the laughter, and if sadness follow after, We are richer by one mocking Christmas past. (Rudyard Kipling)

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future.
