Well, the news is filled with politics. From Trump's tweets to the Senate heathcare bill(s), to Russia; it seems as if the officials that run this country are in crisis. So, I have listed some quotes I think everyone in this country should read right now.
1. "Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future." -John F Kennedy
2. "Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official." -Theodore Roosevelt
3. "Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives." -Ronald Reagan
4. "A house divided against itself, cannot stand." -Abraham Lincoln.
5. "“However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.” – George Washington
6. “Being a politician is a poor profession. Being a public servant is a noble one.” – Herbert Hoover
7. “In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem." -Ronald Reagan
8. “Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists.” ― Franklin D. Roosevelt
9. “It’s amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.” ― Harry S. Truman
10. “One person can make a difference, and everyone should try.” ― John F. Kennedy
11. “Change will not come if we wait for some other person, or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.” ― Barack Obama
The country needs to come together and do what is best for everyone. That means compromises must be made, bipartisan efforts must come forth, decisions that help many and (ideally) hurt no one. Maybe then, this country will be able to get something done.
