"...After the Declaration of Independence was signed,
Virginia statesman John Page wrote to Thomas Jefferson:
'We know the race is not to the swift
nor the battle to the strong.
Do you not think an angel rides in the whirlwind
and directs this storm?"
Much time has passed since Jefferson arrived for his inauguration.
The years and changes accumulate.
But the themes of this day he would know;
our nation's grand story of courage
and its simple dream of dignity."
President George W. Bush, January 20, 2001--Inaugural Speech
