• We've been a free people living under the law, with faith in our Maker and in our future. I've said before that the most sublime picture in American history is of George Washington on his knees in the snow at Valley Forge. That image personifies a people who know that it's not enough to depend on our own courage and goodness; we must also seek help from God, our Father and Preserver.

• Se ha escrito que la figura más sublime de la historia estadounidense fue George Washington de rodillas sobre la nieve en Valley Forge. Personificaba a un pueblo que sabía que no bastaba con depender de su propio valor y bondad, que también debía buscar la ayuda de Dios, su Padre y preservador. ¿Dónde empezamos a perder de vista ese noble comienzo, nuestra convicción de que existen normas del bien y del mal y de que hay que cumplirlas? ¿Realmente pensamos que podemos tener las dos cosas, que Dios nos protegerá en tiempos de crisis aunque le demos la espalda en nuestra vida cotidiana?

• I noticed some time ago that neither of the candidates are quoting the founders. If they are, they're doing it so rarely that I haven't noticed, or enough to be negligible. Certainly, neither is invoking the image of [George] Washington at Valley Forge or the Shining City Upon a Hill. In addition to this being true for John McCain and Barack Obama, it was true for Hillary Clinton as well.
