Former President George W. Bush closed his remarks at the opening of his Presidential Library with these important words (in the presence of President Obama). He choked up on the final sentence (as I do, too, with more hope than conviction!).
"In democracy, the purpose of public office is not to fulfill personal ambition. Elected officials must serve a cause greater than themselves.
"The political winds blow left and right, polls rise and fall, supporters come and go. But in the end leaders are defined by the convictions that they hold."
"I will always believe that our nation's best days lie ahead."
