And Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values like you work hard for what you want in life. That your word is your bond that you do what you say you're going to do. That you treat people with dignity and respect even if you don't know them and even if you don't agree with them.
Look not mournfully into the past it comes not back again. Wisely improve the present it is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future without fear and with a manly heart.
In my dreams I hear again the crash of guns the rattle of musketry the strange mournful mutter of the battlefield.
Mournful and yet grand is the destiny of the artist.
