"At a place where the current wasn't too swift, and where
there was a pretty good breeze, we sat down on the bank and Father showed me
how we could make the boat go either up or down stream by simply changing the
angle of the sail.
"After I had learned how to do it and was moving the strings
so to make the boat tack up against the breeze, Father said, 'You know, a man's
life is a lot like a boat. If he keeps his sail set right it doesn't make too
much difference which way the wind blows or which way the current flows. If he
knows where he wants to go and keeps his sail trimmed carefully he'll come into
the right port. But if he forgets to watch his sail till the current catches
him broadside he's pretty apt to smash up on the rocks.'"
If a nation is doing the right things, it can weather any
storm it faces. No outside force can hurt America if we are true to our
principles, especially those in the U.S. Constitution.
But if we forget,
ignore, reject or abandon these principles, our freedoms and prosperity are in
real dangers.
The ship of state is steered by a very small rudder, the wisdom
and will of the American people.
