More From Samuel Johnson

Man little knows what calamities are beyond his patience to bear till he tries them; as in ascending the heights of ambition, which look bright from below, every step we rise shows us some new and gloomy prospect of hidden disappointment; so in our descent from the summits of pleasure, though the vale of misery below may appear, at first, dark and gloomy, yet the busy mind, still attentive to its own amusement, finds, as we descend, something to flatter and to please. still as we approach, the darkest objects appear to brighten, and the mortal eye becomes adapted to its gloomy situation.

Mr. buckley, let me explain it this way. and i'll do so very carefully & slowly so that even you will understand it. if i was the sheriff, i would not have arrested him. if i was on the grand jury, i would not have indicted him. if i was the judge, i would not try him. if i was the d.a., i would not prosecute him. if i was on the trial jury, i would vote to give him a key to the city, a plaque to hang on his wall, & i would send him home to his family. and, mr. buckley, if my daughter is ever raped, i hope i have the guts to do what he did.

Environmentalism is not an upper-income issue, it's not a white issue, it's not a black issue, it's not a south or a north or an east or a west issue. it's an issue that all of us have a stake in. and if i can do anything to make sure that not just my daughter but every child in america has green pastures to run in and clean air to breathe and clean water to swim in, then that is something i'm going to work my hardest to make happen.
