Moral people do not ignore those who hunger or live in poverty, or cannot afford proper health care. Moral people respect the freedoms of others. They play by the rules because they cherish the delicate balance of civility. They want people to know the truth because that is implicit to the workings of democracy. They do not impose their religious beliefs on others, but safeguard everyone's faith instead. They love this country because they love the people of this country. Morality is defiled when it becomes an empty catch-phrase used to win a debate or impose a new law. It cannot exist on its own. It has to live within us, in our words and deeds, or not at all. It demands a commitment to truth and compassion and working to make things right. All around the world people are fighting and dying for what they perceive as a better way of life. Our soldiers are among them. We, on the other hand, remain too busy at work, too busy having fun, too engaged by distraction, to uphold the rights and freedom our ancestors died to give us.

Anyone who knows history, particularly the history of Europe, will, I think, recognize that the domination of education or of government by any one particular religious faith is never a happy arrangement for the people. Eleanor Roosevelt Anyone who thinks must think of the next war as they would of suicide. Eleanor Roosevelt In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility. Eleanor Roosevelt
