“I do not love the Sabbath, The soapsuds and the starch, The troops of solemn people Who to Salvation march. I take my book, I take my stick On the Sabbath day, In woody nooks and valleys I hide myself away. To ponder there in quiet God's Universal Plan, Resolved that church and Sabbath Were never made for man.” PeopleMenMadeBookChurchPlansQuietUniversalSalvationSticksMarchValleysTroopsSolemnPonderingSabbathWoodySabbath Day Book:Complete Poems Source: Complete Poems
“Robin Williams was an airman, a doctor, a genie, a nanny, a president, a professor, a bangarang Peter Pan, and everything in between. But he was one of a kind. He arrived in our lives as an alien - but he ended up touching every element of the human spirit. He made us laugh. He made us cry. He gave his immeasurable talent freely and generously to those who needed it most - from our troops stationed abroad to the marginalized on our own streets. The Obama family offers our condolences to Robin’s family, his friends, and everyone who found their voice and their verse thanks to Robin Williams.” HumansKindMadeSpiritFoundPresidentVoiceLaughingOur LivesStreetsTalentCryNeededOffersElementsDoctorsThanksAliensTouchingProfessorsPeterTroopsVersesHuman SpiritRobinsOur TroopsMarginalizedCondolencesNanniesOne Of A KindGeniesAirmenOur Condolences Author:Barack Obama
“Frank Capra made a series of films during World War II called 'Why We Fight' that explored America's reasons for entering the war. Today, with our troops engaged in Iraq and elsewhere for reasons far less clear, I think it's crucial to ask the questions: 'Why are we doing what we are doing? What is it doing to others? And what is it doing to us?'” ThinkingWorldMadeWarReasonTodayAmericaFilmFightingAsksClearSeriesIraqWar Of The WorldsEngagedCrucialWorld War IiElsewhereFrankWorld War ITroopsEnteringOur Troops Author:Eugene Jarecki
