Mrs. Beaver: Is that you, Beaver? If I find out you've been out with Badger again ... (then, seeing the four Pevensie children who at Aslan's calling are arriving to save Narnia from Jadis the White Witch) Oh, they're not Badgers. I never thought I would live to see this day"

Me neither.

One of my favorite memories is, as Richard Nixon flew from Washington home to California, Gerald Ford addressing the nation and saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, our constitution works". Thank god and especially our forefathers. 

Almighty God, who hast given us this good land for our heritage: We humbly beseech thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of thy favor and glad to do thy will. Bless our land with honorable industry, sound learning, and pure manners. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride and arrogance, and from every evil way. Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people the multitudes brought hither out of many kindreds and tongues. Endue with the spirit of wisdom those to whom in thy Name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that, through obedience to thy law, we may show forth thy praise among the nations of the earth. In the time of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in thee to fail; all which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
