"...no fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
but no one wants you when you lose
don't
give up
'cos you have friends
don't give up
you're not beaten yet
don't give up
I know you can make it good..."
~ Peter Gabriel - Don't Give Up So ©1986
"I am certain
that my fellow Americans expect that on my induction into the Presidency I will
address them with a candor and a decision which the present situation of our
Nation impels. This is preeminently the time to speak the truth, the whole
truth, frankly and boldly. Nor need we shrink from honestly facing conditions
in our country today. This great Nation will endure as it has endured, will
revive and will prosper. So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that
the only thing we have to fear is fear itself -- nameless, unreasoning,
unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into
advance. In every dark hour of our national life a leadership of frankness and
vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves
which is essential to victory. I am convinced that you will again give that
support to leadership in these critical days.."
~ President Franklin D.
Roosevelt; First Inaugural Address (excerpt)
