It is now the moment when by common consent we pause to become conscious of our national life and to rejoice in it, to recall what our country has done for each of us, and to ask ourselves what we can do for our country in return. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
Memorial Day 1884 address made by the Supreme Court Justice, who had fought in the Civil War. Echoed by President John F. Kennedy in his Inaugural Address in 1962

And if fairness means that people should not have to jump through government-approved hoops to receive any tax cut at all, then Mr. Bush’s proposal wins. Wall Street Journal
