Here are a few quotes in honor of that birthday. Hope you
have a festive 4th!
“America
is much more than a geographical fact. It is a political and moral fact—the first
community in which men set out in principle to institutionalize freedom,
responsible government, and human equality.”—Adlai Stevenson
“How often we fail to
realize our good fortune in living in a country where happiness is more than a
lack of tragedy.”—Paul Sweeney
“Those who won our
independence believed liberty to be the secret of happiness and courage to be
the secret of liberty.”—Louis D. Brandeis

ReplyDeleteThanks, Danielle. It's actually been very nice for this time of year! It was downright cool at around 11:30 p.m.(when the fireworks stopped in my neighborhood and I could take the trash out to the curb!) on the 4th.
