Higher Purpose and Style
I was moved by President Obama's speech last night. He reminded us to be true to the goodness and decency in all of us.
His speech inspired me to look within and to re-dedicate myself to my "better angel."
Quotes from the President's Speech
Moral Imagination and listening
"Rather than pointing fingers or assigning blame, let us use this occasion to expand our moral imaginations, to listen to each other more carefully, to sharpen our instincts for empathy, and remind ourselves of all the ways our hopes and dreams are bound together."
About decency and goodness
"We may not be able to stop all evil in the world, but I know that how we treat one another is entirely up to us. I believe that for all our imperfections, we are full of decency and goodness, and that the forces that divide us are not as strong as those that unite us."
