National Ideals

A man’s country is not a certain area of land, of mountains, rivers, and woods, but it is a principle and patriotism is loyalty to that principle.
**George William Curtis

The Good at Heart

“It’s really a wonder that I haven’t dropped all my ideals,

because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I

keep them, because in spite of everything, I still believe that

people are really good at heart.”

-Anne Frank

This means to much more when you understand that Miss Frank wrote this in her diary as a young Jewish girl hiding from the Nazis with her family in WWII.  She did not survive the camps, but up to the last entry she maintained her faith in the world. If she can believe in humanity, who can then do otherwise?
