"Let us resolve that we, the people, will build an American opportunity society in which all of us -- white and black, rich and poor, young and old -- will go forward together, arm in arm.

Again, let us remember that though our heritage is one of blood lines from every corner of the Earth, we are all Americans, pledged to carry on this last, best hope of man on Earth..''

Ronald Reagan

"No one who lived through the Great Depression can ever look upon an unemployed person with anything by compassion.

To me, there is no greater tragedy than a breadwinner willing to work, with a job skill but unable to find a market for that job skill. Back in those dark depression days I saw my father on Christmas eve open what he thought was a Christmas greeting from his boss.

Instead, it was the blue slip telling him he not longer had a job.

The memory of him sitting there holding that slip of paper and then saying in a half whisper, 'That’s quite a Christmas present'; it will stay with me as long as I live.''
