“Nowhere in the world is presented a government of so much liberty and equality. To the humblest and poorest amongst us are held out the highest privileges and positions. The present moment finds me at the White House, yet there is as good a chance for your children as there was for my father's.” WorldChildrenMomentsGovernmentFatherHouseChanceWhiteLibertyPositionHighestOur ChildrenPrivilegeYour ChildrenPresent MomentWhite HouseFind MePoorestLiberty And Equality Book:Abraham Lincoln: Quotes, Quips, and Speeches Source: Abraham Lincoln: Quotes, Quips, and Speeches

“The function of our Government is to insure to all its citizens, now and hereafter, their rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. If we of this generation destroy the resources from which our children would otherwise derive their livelihood, we reduce the capacity of our land to support a population, and so either degrade the standard of living or deprive the coming generations of their fight to life on this continent.” IfsChildrenGovernmentFightingLibertySupportRightsGenerationsLandCitizensStandardsResourcesCapacityFunctionOur ChildrenPopulationPursuitContinentsPursuit Of HappinessHereafterLivelihoodDegradeStandards Of LivingThis GenerationLife Liberty And The Pursuit Of HappinessRights To Life Author:Theodore Roosevelt
“Our children are our signature to the roster of history; our land is merely the place our money was made. There is as yet no social stigma in the possession of a gullied farm, a wrecked forest, or a polluted stream, provided the dividends suffice to send the youngsters to college. Whatever ails the land, the government will fix it.” ChildrenMadeGovernmentSocialLandCollegeOur ChildrenPossessionForestsStreamsFarmsStigmaSignaturesYoungstersDividendsRosters Book:Round River Source: Round River
“The role of government has never been to plan every detail or dictate every outcome. At its best, government has simply knocked away barriers to opportunity and laid the foundation for a better future. Our people -- with all their drive and ingenuity -- always end up building the rest. And if we can do that again -- if we can continue building that foundation and making those hard decisions on behalf of the next generation -- I have no doubt that we will leave our children the America that we all hope for.” PeopleIfsChildrenEndsHardGovernmentAmericaNextOpportunityCan DoDecisionRolesDoubtPlansGenerationsBuildingOur ChildrenFoundationDetailsOutcomesNo DoubtBarriersBehalfNext GenerationIngenuityBetter FutureHard DecisionRole Of Government Author:Barack Obama
