[Two thoughts on today’s Inaugural celebrations…] | |
This not a day of triumph; it is a day of dedication. Here muster not the forces of party, but the forces of Humanity… I summon all honest men, all patriotic, all forward-looking men to my side. God helping me, I will not fail them, if they will but counsel and sustain me! | |
— Woodrow Wilson | |

— Sydney J. Harris | |
[To the former: I stand at your side, Mr. President. To the latter: ask me again in Nov. 2014 and then again about a year after that… Until then, God Bless you, Mr. President and God Bless the United States of America! — KMAB] | |
