Fix Quotes

Fix reason firmly in her seat,
and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion.

because, if there be one,
he must more approve of the homage of reason,
than that of blindfolded fear.

Let us not seek the Republican answer

only a fixed quantity of each resource -
a limited amount of food, of money,
of love, of success, of appreciation.

inventiveness, and service that they contribute.
In this world-view, money that is spent
or given away returns multiplied.

feel the wind newly on my skin,
touch a new fear, a new anger,
and with focused intent and good fortune,
find an ample measure of my own joy.
