we should love one another as we would be loved, take care of the least of these, keep the feast in remembrance of Our Lord’s sacrifice, and remain open, always open, to the mysterious grace of God.

Jon Meacham
“the lesson of American history is that we’re at our best when we at least agree on the facts at hand, on the efficacy of compromise, and on the legitimacy of our institutions.”
Jon Meacham, American Struggle: Democracy, Dissent, and the Pursuit of a More Perfect Union: An Anthology

John F. Kennedy
“The great enemy of truth is very often not the lie--deliberate, contrived and dishonest--but the myth--persistent, persuasive and unrealistic. Too often we hold fast to the cliches of our forebears. We subject all facts to a prefabricated set of interpretations. We enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.

[Commencement Address at Yale University, June 11 1962]
John F. Kennedy

Doris Kearns Goodwin
“Because of the greatest—indeed, the only—redistribution of income downward in the nation’s history, a middle-class country had emerged.”
Doris Kearns Goodwin, No ordinary time : Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt : the home front in World War II
