Georgia:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>At a time in our history when the streets of the Nation&#8217;s cities inspire fear and despair, rather than pride and hope, it is difficult to maintain objectivity and concern for our fellow citizens. But, the measure of a country&#8217;s greatness is its ability to retain compassion in time of crisis. No nation in the recorded history of man has a greater tradition of revering justice and fair treatment for all its citizens in times of turmoil, confusion, and tension than ours. This is a country which stands tallest in troubled times, a country that clings to fundamental principles, cherishes its constitutional heritage, and rejects simple solutions that compromise the values that lie at the roots of our democratic system.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Here&#8217;s hoping we can continue, as a nation, to stand tall in troubled times.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\nP.S. Let me know what you think of this video version of the &#8220;Monday Morning Quote&#8221; series. Thanks!
