Quote: Words To Live By

I thought all of these quotes were worth passing along.  Each conveys an important truth about how best to live life.

"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them."
-- John Fitzgerald Kennedy --

"We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude."
-- Cynthia Ozick --

"How can limited government and fiscal restraint be equated with lack of compassion for the poor? How can a tax break that puts a little more money in the weekly paychecks of working people be seen as an attack on the needy? Since when do we in America believe that our society is made up of two diametrically opposed classes—one rich, one poor—both in a permanent state of conflict and neither able to get ahead except at the expense of the other? Since when do we in America accept this alien and discredited theory of social and class warfare? Since when do we in America endorse the politics of envy and division?"
-- Ronald Reagan --

"Enlightened statesmen will not always be at the helm."
-- James Madison --
