America's Call


Throughout its history, America has given hope, comfort and inspiration to freedom’s cause in all lands. The reservoir of good will and respect for America was not built up by American arms or intrigue; it was built upon our deep dedication to the cause of human liberty. ~Adlai Stevenson, Call to Greatness (Harper), from the Godkin Lectures, “A Troubled World,” Harvard, March 17-19, 1954

May we give more inspiration, hope, comfort, and freedom to planet Earth. Namaste.
