Summary

This quote suggests a difference in perspective between the past and present generations. It states that our fathers valued change because of the outcomes it brought about, while we, the present generation, value change for the very act of making a change. In other words, our fathers focused on the end result, whereas we appreciate the process of change itself. This could imply that we have become more conscious of personal growth and evolution, valuing the transformative journey rather than being solely fixated on tangible results.

But we cannot afford $1 trillion worth of tax cuts for every millionaire and billionaire in our society. We can't afford it. And I refuse to renew them again.

Soldiers -- You are about to return to your homes and your friends, after having, as I learn, performed in camp a comparatively short term of duty in this great contest. I am greatly obliged to you, and to all who have come forward at the call of their country.
