“Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past, let us accept our own responsibility for the future.”

“Let us revere, let us worship, but erect and open-eyed, the highest, not the lowest; the future, not the past!”

“I accept the responsibility but not the blame. Let me explain the difference. Those who are to blame lose their jobs. Those who are responsible do not.”

“Let's worry about fixing the problem instead of the blame.”

“Let us accept truth, even when it surprises us and alters our views.”

“So let us not be petty when our cause is so great. Let us not quarrel amongst ourselves when our Nation’s future is at stake.”

“Time affords us the ability to blame past errors on others while whole heartedly pronouncing our futures successes.”

“Let us have faith.
No, let us not be cast down.
To despair is to desert.
Let us look to the future.
The future,—no one knows what tempests still separate us from port, but the port, the distant and radiant port, is in sight; the future, we repeat, is the republic for all men; let us add, the future is peace with all men.”

“Let us live for the beauty of our own reality.”

“Books let us into their souls and lay open to us the secrets of our own.”
