Political Quotes

“Today, first and foremost, our hearts go out to the victims and families affected by yesterday's sad and shocking attacks. The stories of tragedy and the compelling stories of heroism that have begun to emerge from the smoke and the shattered buildings will forever be a part of this black day that has been burned into our national memory. But let these days that follow be remembered not just for our sadness and anger, but for our national resolve. As a Nation, we must now pull together to overcome this vicious attempt to break our national spirit. Those responsible for yesterday's horrific events have seriously miscalculated the strength and resolve of Americans. Our sense of security may be temporarily unsteadied, but our unity is emboldened. Our bonds of liberty, our bonds of freedom, our bonds of democracy are stronger and run deeper than any individual, than any building, than any monument, and no act of violence, no knives or sharpened razors, can ever sever them. We will not be intimidated by these cowards. We will remain committed until those responsible learn the steep cost of taking innocent lives, innocent American lives, on American soil. The flame of liberty remains bright and will continue to shine upon the world, casting deep into the dark shadows of violence, intolerance and extremism. There will be no corner on this Earth where the demons of September 11 will be safe from justice.”
