Thought for the Day

"Lincoln had a passionate commitment to the ideal that all men should receive a full, good, and ever increasing reward for their labors so that they might have the opportunity to rise in life . . . . Economic development provided the basis that would allow every American an unfettered start and a fair chance in the race of life."
