Yet There Is A Dignity

Early Youth Is A Baffling Time

What Began As A Bitter Dispute Over Union And States' Rights, Ended As A Struggle Over The Meaning Of Freedom In America. At Gettysburg In 1863, Abraham Lincoln Said Perhaps More Than He Knew. The War Was About A New Birth Of Freedom.

History Does Not Usually Make Real Sense Until Long Afterward.

In This Respect Early Youth Is Exactly Like Old Age; It Is A Time Of Waiting For A Big Trip To An Unknown Destination. The Chief Difference Is That Youth Waits For The Morning Limited And Age Waits For The Night Train

Sooner Or Later You Must Move Down An Unknown Road That Leads Beyond The Range Of The Imagination, And The Only Certainty Is That The Trip Has To Be Made
