This is one of my favorite quotes. You never know what's coming next, and I love the idea of facing it head-on and enjoying the ride. Thanks, mom, for giving me spunk, and thanks, dad, for giving me the ability to look forward, head-on!

"If by a liberal they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a liberal, then I'm proud to say I'm a liberal."
John F. Kennedy
"A conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned to walk forward."
Franklin D. Roosevelt
