I have somewhere met with the epitaph on a charitable man which has pleased me very much. I cannot recollect the words, but here is the sense of it: 'What I spent I lost; what I possessed is left to others; what I gave away remains with me.'
“If the truth be known, we are on the verge of losing an entire generation of our young people, killing and dying in the streets of America.”
“I see a lot of patterns in our behavior as a nation that parallel a lot of other historical processes.”
