   "So now, it's up to us, all of us, to prepare America for that day when our work will pale before the greatness of America's champions."-Ronald Reagan
   
   I  love to listen to a Presidential Speech.  The clarity of one's voice and tone matches no other time in (listening to) history.  There is something to be said when a World Leader begins a speech that rallies his people for Peace, for Discovery or Call to Arms.   Many speeches have inspired the average person to do incredible things.  But nothing moves people more in that moment than a sentence or quotation.  It is truly in that moment, when the words complete that resounding sentence forever lasting, that sets itself apart; too forever be quoted.  I invite you to share some of your favorite quotations with me!

   "What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence and lawlessness, but is love and wisdom, and compassion toward one another, and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country."
   
   Bobby Kennedy
