Abraham Lincoln's "better angels of our nature" and George H.W. Bush's "thousand points of light" are companion verses in American's national hymn, for Lincoln and Bush both called on us to choose the right over the convenient, to hope rather than to fear, and to heed not our worst impulses, but our best instincts.
I gather such sentiments make certain posters here uncomfortable. If the shoe fits ....
