"This is a good country. With good people in it. Good people don't always agree with one another. Maybe the best thing we do in this country is agree to disagree once in a while. But with a certain amount of civility. And that's what seems to be missing these days... A certain amount of civility. We're shouting when we should be talking. We're arguing when we should be conversing. We're angry when we should be reasoning. I think the best single thing all of us can do is calm down. And maybe think a little bit more and talk a little bit less."
~John Wayne, National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame Speech, December 4, 1974
