“We can't wait any longer for a path to full and equal citizenship. Now, this is where I differ with everybody on the Republican side. Make no mistake, today, not a single Republican candidate, announced or potential, is clearly and consistently supporting a path to citizenship. Not one. When they talk about legal status that is code for second-class status.” TodayWaitingSidesMistakeClassPathRepublicanEqualCodeCandidatesConsistentlyCitizenshipClass Status Author:Hillary Clinton
“Life continues, and some mornings, weary of the noise, discouraged by the prospect of the interminable work to keep after, sickened also by the madness of the world that leaps at you from the newspaper, finally convinced that I will not be equal to it and that I will disappoint everyone - all I want to do is sit down and wait for evening.

“Capitalism rules worldwide, and a society whose economic fabric depends on constant growth requires that its citizens have ever-expanding needs and wants... In the West, it will take one with soul force equal to Gandhi's to change the prevailing dogma of ever increasing GNP. We may be forced to change our profligate ways some day, when the soil is depleted, the aquifers drained, the icecaps melted, and all the oil wells pumped dry. But the crisis will wait another fifty years or so; we'll leave those problems to a generation yet unborn.” WayWantNeedsYearsWellsMaySoulProblemForceWaitingGrowthGenerationsEconomicDependsCitizensEqualCapitalismCrisisConstantWestEnvironmentalOilDrySoilFiftySustainabilityDogmaFabricExpandingUnbornPrevailingDrainedNeeds And WantsSoul ForceAquifers Author:Philip Yancey

“I exist as I am, that is enough, If no other in the world be aware I sit content, And if each and all be aware I sit content.

“...Rose of all Roses, Rose of all the World! You, too, have come where the dim tides are hurled Upon the wharves of sorrow, and heard ring The bell that calls us on; the sweet far thing. Beauty grown sad with its eternity Made you of us, and of the dim grey sea. Our long ships loose thought-woven sails and wait, For God has bid them share an equal fate; And when at last defeated in His wars, They have gone down under the same white stars, We shall no longer hear the little cry Of our sad hearts, that may not live nor die.” WorldHeartMayLittlesLongMadeWarLastsDiesStarsWaitingWhiteGoneFateHeardSeaShareCrySweetSorrowEqualEternityRoseRingsShipsBellsTidesDefeatedSailGreyWovenSad Heart Book:When You Are Old: Early Poems, Plays, and Fairy Tales Source: When You Are Old: Early Poems, Plays, and Fairy Tales
