Today we are faced with the preeminent fact that, if civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships... the ability of all people, of all kind, to live together, in the same world, at peace.
- F. D. Roosevelt
SERVICE is an honorable charge in a sometimes dishonorable and uncivilized atmosphere. It’s thankless, and tiresome! BUT for the sake of this city's children and their FUTURE -- I shall serve and serve with my whole heart. I shall “Stand in the Gap” until the educational system in this fair city provides for the edification, preparation and self-actualization of each and every student in Plainfield Public Schools.
TAP -- you commented to the wrong post so here it goes...Did Roosevelt say that before or after he illegally arressted and detained the Japanese and German Americans in concentration camps here in America? Bad choice of person to quote!
ReplyDeleteIf you look at our History there are many things people did that were not always the right thing to do... You do it. I do it. We all make mistakes, poor judgement etc.
ReplyDeleteThis quote is powerful! Perhaps a revelation he came to after the fact. Who's to say!
I stand by the quote, not the man per say!
Even worldwide! Look at John Newton's and William Cowper's Hymn , "Amazing Grace", performed at least 10 million times annually in this country if not more . . . the epiphany of a slave ship Captain!
ReplyDeleteThank you for correcting my comment placement error.
You are so right, we are all guilty, all sinners and saved only by faith in Jesus!
