HI, my name is Suan and I am doing a speech on you for my eighth grade civics class. My mom was telling me about a qoute you said that she really likes. But all she remembered was " In this very present crisis..." Would you be able to give me the rest of that? Thank you very much for helping me.

Perhaps this is it:

1981 Inaugural Address

Look at paragraph 13....

Quote:

In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem. From time to time we've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price.

Hope that's what you're looking for!

Good luck with your project! You picked a great subject!~ [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
