“The Dogmas of the quiet past…”
June 5th, 2008
Thanks to the Center for the Study of the Presidency for pointing to this profound and timely Lincoln quote:
“The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy
present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must
rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew,
and act anew . . . Fellow-citizens, we cannot escape history.”—Abraham Lincoln
