George Will Quotes
The gap between ideals and actualities, between dreams and achievements, the gap that can spur strong men to increased exertions, but can break the spirit of others -- this gap is the most conspicuous, continuous land mark in American history.

The gap is a standing reproach to Americans; but it marks them off as a special and singularly admirable community among the world's peoples.
