To a crisis of the spirit, we need an answer of the spirit. To find that answer, we need only look within ourselves. When we listen to the better angels of our nature, we find that they celebrate the simple things, the basic things--such as goodness, decency, love, kindness. Greatness comes in simple trappings.

Scrubbing floors and emptying bedpans has as much dignity as the Presidency.
Richard M. Nixon
