Unto whomsoever much is given, of him much will be required.~Luke 12:48

For those to whom much is given, much is required. And when at some future date the high court of history sits in judgment on each of us, recording whether in our brief span of service we fulfilled our responsibilities to the state, our success or failure, in whatever office we hold, will be measured by the answers to four questions: First, were we truly men of courage...Second were we truly men of judgment...Third, were we truly men of integrity...Finally, were we truly men of dedication?~Address of President-Elect John F. Kennedy Delivered to a Joint Convention of the General Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, The State House, Boston , January 9, 1961.
