“Labor, with its coarse raiment and its bare right arm, has gone forth in the earth, achieving the truest conquests and rearing the most durable monuments. It has opened the domain of matter and the empire of the mind. The wild beast has fled before it, and the wilderness has fallen back.... its triumphal march is the progress of civilization.” MindMatterEarthGoneProgressAchieveArmsCivilizationLaborFallenBeastEmpiresWildernessMarchConquestDomainMonumentTruestCoarseWild Beasts Author:Edwin Hubbel Chapin

“Fellow countrymen: At this second appearing to take the oath of the Presidential office, there is less occasion for an extended address than there was at the first...The progress of our arms, upon which all else chiefly depends, is as well known to the public as to myself; and it is, I trust, reasonably satisfactory and encouraging to all.

“The proposed liberal solution was always negotiation. Just as they believed in nuclear arms negotiations for their own sake, they believe in a "peace process" without regard to what its consequences might be....It was impossible for any peace plan to fail in their eyes, since lack of progress was nearly always interpreted as evidence that new talks were now "urgent".” BelieveMightEyeProcessProgressPlansImpossibleFailingArmsSolutionsEvidenceConsequenceRegardSakeNuclearNegotiationUrgentNuclear Arms Author:Mona Charen
“When I was secretary of state, I had to be responsible for getting a nuclear arms reduction treaty with Russia through the Senate. We needed, I think, 13 Republican votes to get to 67. I started working in the summer making just endless phone calls, meetings, bringing experts to talk to Republicans, and then we finally got it done at the end of the year 2010. So I'm excited to roll up my sleeves and get into the business of solving problems and making progress together.” ThinkingYearsEndsStatesDoneProblemTogetherProgressArmsNeededRepublicanSummerVoteResponsibleMeetingsPhonesExcitedNuclearRussiaEndlessExpertsCall MeSenateProblem SolvingSecretarySleevesReductionTreatiesBeing ResponsiblePhone CallsNuclear Arms Author:Hillary Clinton
