We must try again to be alive to what the people of our country really long for in our national life: forgiveness and grace, maturity and wisdom.... Our political leaders will know our priorities only if we tell them, again and again, and if those priorities begin to show up in the polls. Peggy Noonan
About This Quote

We must try again to be alive to what the people of our country really long for in our national life: forgiveness and grace, maturity and wisdom....Our political leaders will know our priorities only if we tell them, again and again, and if those priorities begin to show up in the polls. This quote is amazing. I think that we should forgive our government, but we do not forgive them on a regular bases. We should start doing that more often because that is what will lead to a better relationship between us and our government.
