Political speech1 quote
Think of our world as it looks from the rocket that is heading toward Mars. It is like a child's globe, hanging in space, the continents stuck to its side like colored maps. We are all fellow passengers on a dot of earth. And each of us, in the span of time, has really only a moment among our companions. How incredible it is that in this fragile existence, we should hate and destroy one another. There are possibilities enough for all who will abandon mastery over others to pursue mastery over nature. There is world enough for all to seek their happiness in their own way. — Lyndon B. Johnson · 1965Tragedy (play)1 quote
We go to gain a little patch of ground
That hath in it no profit but the name. — William Shakespeare · 1616
