"We Americans of today—all of us—we are characters in this living book of democracy.

"But we are also its author. It falls upon us now to say whether the chapters that are to come will tell a story of retreat or a story of continued advance. I believe that the American people will say: "Forward!""

Franklin D Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Campaign Address at Cleveland, Ohio November 2, 1940.

Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
