I think one's feelings waste themselves in words; they ought all to be distilled into actions which bring results.

We need people out talking about the President, explaining, agreeing with and praising his actions.

We have made mistakes. In our haste to do all things for all people, we did not foresee the full consequences of our actions. And when the people raised their voices, we didn't hear. But our deafness was only a temporary condition, and not an irreversible condition.
