“I'm really glad that our young people missed the Depression and missed the great big war. But I do regret that they missed the leaders that I knew, leaders who told us when things were tough and that we'd have to sacrifice, and that these difficulties might last awhile. They didn't tell us things were hard for us because we were different, or isolated, or special interests. They brought us together and they gave us a sense of national purpose.” PeopleDifferentWarHardBigsMightTogetherLastsYoungPurposeInterestLeaderSacrificeSpecialRegretToughDifficultyGladIsolatedSpecial Interests Author:Ann Richards

I would just like to see us analyze in a serious way what really is in our interest. Sometimes we intervene in foreign countries in ways that seem successful at first. In the end, however, we wind up with unpredicted consequences that make us regret those operations.” WayFirstsEndsCountrySometimesStatesProblemBigsSeemsInterestUnitedActingUnited StatesSuccessfulSeriousWindRegretConsequenceOperationsBehalfForeign Countries Author:Stephen Kinzer

“The evil, Sir, is enormous; the inevitable suffering incalculable. Do not stain the fair fame of the country. . . . Nations of dependent Indians, against their will, under color of law, are driven from their homes into the wilderness. You cannot explain it; you cannot reason it away. . . . Our friends will view this measure with sorrow, and our enemies alone with joy. And we ourselves, Sir, when the interests and passions of the day are past, shall look back upon it, I fear, with self-reproach, and a regret as bitter as unavailing.” LooksSelfCountryReasonHomePastLawJoySufferingPassionEvilNationsInterestViewsEnemyColorRegretSorrowFameFairsDrivenEnormousBitterInevitableDependentWildernessStainsReproach Author:Edward Everett
