    “Eternal smiles his emptiness betray,
    As shallow streams run dimpling all the way.”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    “Our decision about energy will test the character of the American people and the ability of the President and the Congress to govern this nation. This difficult effort will be the “moral equivalent of war,” except that we will be uniting our efforts to build and not to destroy.”
