    When your dreams tire, they go underground
    and out of kindness that’s where they stay.
    —Libby Houston (b. 1941)

    Let him [the President] once win the admiration and confidence of the country, and no other single force can withstand him, no combination of forces will easily overpower him....

    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    The cemetery of the victims of human cruelty in our century is extended to include yet another vast cemetery, that of the unborn.
