Bill Moyers' Eulogy for Lady Bird Johnson

From Bill Moyers' eulogy for Lady Bird Johnson:
[A] man called me back at the White House from the pay phone at a local train depot. He was choking back the tears. "As long as I live," he said, in a voice breaking with emotion, "I will thank God I was here today, so that I can tell my children the difference courage makes."
Moyers' eulogy is here; more stories here.

Moderation is on. Apologies for any delays.



Err on the side of politesse and understatement please.



Before you speak, ask yourself if what you have to say will improve on silence.
